Welcome to RTB!!! glad to have ya!
honestly, I would change substrate to cypress mulch (it should be cooked first before use, in the oven at 200 for a couple hours, watch it close!) and mist it a couple times a day to keep up humidity. damp rags just sound like a breeding ground for bacteria. if he just went into shedding mode last week, nothing to worry about yet, it's totally normal for a ball to go a lot longer than that to complete a shed. just give him time [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] , but I really would change the rags out.
what are your temps at? how about humidity? humidity, and hydration are the most important parts of a good shed, I see where you were going with the rags.
