Hi all, just thought I would post a few pictures of slink post shed. Unfortunately it was a bit of a rough shed and she needed a bit of help but as far as I can tell everything is off.
Here's a picture of slink in blue
A few pics of her in her new clothes
And one of the broken shed (unfortunately I can't seem to find every last bit but I can't see any remaining shed on her)
Just for future reference what would you recommend to help her have a clean shed? I have seen on other threads that you can put wet moss in a hide but I don't think I've seen moss in the pet shop I go to. |

I have had slink for about 6 months now and so far the sheds have been fine, but this is the first shed since moving her into the vivarium from the faunarium. I guess I will just have to see how the next shed goes and go from there.
Thank you all for the advice. |

So nice and bright now! Yep if you can't get any moss, a flannel will do the trick just as well |

Awww nice and bright again! As above there are different methods, I put a moss hide in for Corno as her first shed with us was bad, but she didn't seem to want to go anywhere near it! After 3 sheds which she needed a bit of help with (running through damp towel) she started shedding fine on her own, so don't panic that 1 bad shed means Slink will always have a problem. Some people mist the vivs 1-2x a day once they have noticed the eyes have cleared just to up the humidity temporarily. I think I'd go for moving the water bowl across and a damp flannel personally. |

Thirsty work shedding!
Beautiful new coat.
Don't have to use moss, you can just pop a damp flannel on her warm hide as soon as you notice her going blue. Another tip is to put her water in the warm end. |
