Leave the hide, if it's too hot, he'll get out. Spray him down really good. He needs the heat to digest his shed, which should give you a nice solid poo in 2 days or so.

It will be ok to leave his humid hide until he is done shedding then worry about taking it away from him so he has to keep himself warm to ensure proper digestion, just incase he is developing an impaction from improper digestion, like my guy was.

Well Marie I'm just guessing here but if he did not eat his shed AND your only getting urates, with no poo, I would be concerned about impaction. Do not feed him and I would take him to the vet on Tues when you are able.

Well hun that is where most ppl buy either the temp gun or themometer with probe...to check the temps. What you have is for regulating the temps. Some thermostats have a input to plug a thermostat probe into and a read out screen for them..by what you described I am guessing yours does not. So you now either buy Digital thermometers with probes for each section to monitor temps or a temp gun and just check temps regularly.
