He shed a day or two ago but his tail and legs still have shed on them today. I've heard of this cutting of circulation and such so I am worried! It looks kind of tight on his tail. Can anyone tell me if this looks like a problem? I've been increasing the mistings, but humidity in the North East is still pretty low.

Thanks!
