Refusing to shed?

Ok, for now, use newspaper or kitchen roll as a substrate, apply the lubricant twice daily, put in a humid hide. Weigh him. Weigh him again in a couple of weeks. If he's losing weight or losing condition you will need to consider a vet visit. Retained eyecaps can cause infections in the sinus' so if his head becomes swollen or you see discharge from his nostrils you will need a vet.
 
Gonna necro my old thread to announce that Wraith has broken his 5 month fast.
Built a little sauna for him and he packed himself inside. I suppose the large tank that he's in has too much open air and not enough dense humidity. Shed was still all over the place, and I had to manually peel the eyecaps off but it worked.

My hope in him is restored.
