Hey guys its been awhile since i have been on here=) SO i have noticed for the past im going to say month mabe less not really 100%sure but thor has had only like some of his back and tail and feed shed but nothing else even though u can obvoisly tell that the rest should have came off. Idk if its just because he is now older so he wont shed as much at a time or if this is an issue so i was hoping to get an answer if possible!
Here is a pic of him today with his lazy colors on as usual lol, but as u can see there are spots that are and alot of spots that arnt but u can see the white cover where the dead skin is over the new skin.

Not entirely sure.. But..

Do you know the humidity of his enclosure?

I would await a more senior member though, however slough problems can be humidity related, and nothing here indicates there is any circulatory restrictions being caused by his remaining skin.

Try increasing the humidity for a day..
 
Well they will not do full body sheds so much when they get older but will shed in parts, like feets, eyes, legs, etc. I am not sure if this is what you are asking. BTW he is very beautiful!

Thanks. Yea i was told by jordan lease when i bought him a year ago and 2.5months ago that as he got older he would start to do more of a one part at a time shed but i dont not think it ment that he would look like his full body was ready for shedding but only one part would happen at a time even though it looked like he should be shedding his full body thats why i am a little concerned=/ now that he said somthing about the humidity, i did notice that since it started getting colder that it has been going from 60% during sprays which happen 5times a day at a swip swap of 1m then 2m so mabe this is an indicator that i need to make my sprays more like every hour or so and make it like 1m each time to solve that because it is at 20%right now and thats not good =0
 
Again not an expert..

Although you don't want constant humidity, maintaining a humidity of between 30%-60% would be better, certainly during slough.

during the sprays it typically rannges from 60-80 and then typically stays around 50 for about 25m then drops down to 40till the next spray but since the cold came it has been droping as low as 20before the next spray so i think i should make more sprays and mabe lower the amount of time its on for?
