shedding issue

Xibulba is shedding her tail at least, but in weird little flakey pieces. Im posative that cant be normal, but i just dont get it.
Its at least 70% humidity in there, we mist it all the time. we've figured out where she burrows and make sure its always moist there.
she eats fine.

Her belly and bottom of her tail look foggy, so she looks like she must be shedding but nothings coming off just flakes of her tail.

also, so looks like shes gunna drop another cm long piece of her tail again. i can see a faint red line just one one side of the tip of her tail.

getting super frustrated.

Can you take a close up pic of the tail? Sheds don't always come off in 1 piece, especially tails, so it might be perfectly normal.

If he is having shedding issues though, you can try lotioning him up after a nice long bath. I give Mac a full body/tail/legs/toes coat of Palmers Coco Butter w/vit E after every bath and he hasn't had any shedding issues at all, even though he free roams and my house's humidity is only 50%. It also makes his skin soft & nice smelling.
