I have a baby corn who started shedding a few days ago but it’s not come off in one piece (about 1/3 has come off, head end). He’s still very tiny and not that friendly so I can’t handle him well enough to help him. I have another adult corn but never had this issue, his skin always sheds whole. I’m guessing I need to add moisture to his tank and maybe a wet towel?

Two ways to help - either increase moisture and/or put a bowl of water in or put something rough that he can rub along, i.e branch or rough stone.

Thank you Loch I have put a warm damp flannel in with him, he has a rough bit of tree bark to rub on, it looks like the rest of the skin is coming away so fingers crossed all will be ok by tomorrow. He has a large water bowl which he usually bathes in but he’s not moving around much (probably tired from shedding).
