My ackies never seem to shed their skin in one full motion.
There is normally little bitsl left and they are hard for them to get off.
They and a humid burrowing box / eg box.
What should the overall humidity be in the viv?
Any help appreciated

Most lizard species do this, snakes having no limbs tend to shed in larger pieces or even whole skins. Lizards also have spines and crests etc and it makes shedding in one piece pretty tricky

Nick, thats quite normal. I keep the humidity around the 70% mark. what substrate are you using? I use play sand/ soil mix & spray every couple of nights (i give it a good soaking). Keep an eye on the toes & tail tip as these are the places that can cause problems.

[herp_boi]

I am using play sand.

But i havnt been keeping it too wet.
So ill will start to do that.
Btw do you find that this time of year they dont feed much at all?

I do breed them. Unfortunately i don't have enough at the moment perhaps in a couple of months i may have some available. Nick, look on the classifieds as i saw some advertied, i think by Mark from this forum.

Hi Nick,

I will send you some roaches tomorrow or Monday. I have promised you these for ages, so huge apologies. I think I still have your address pm or e-mail to confirm and I will definitely get these sent out.

Cheers

Mark
