hey guys ive had my two cornys for about 3 months now and they are comeing up to 6 months old,
never had a problem in shedding before but this month my male corny (ember) has kind of missed his shed! i keep a diary of there shed from which was started by my mate (from which i bought them off) and they have never missed it before, it seems to be 5 days now, he doesnt seem to be under any stress (feeding as normal) and ive tried using a waterbowl for him and he seems to just ignore it, (he is still very active, wants to come out as soon as im home from work) so no attitude change? any ideas??
cheers guys and gals!!!

Well as snakes get older they start to slow down how frequent they shed, although if you up a prey size, she may have a growth spurt.

When I first got my Blaze onto meds, he was shedding ever 3 weeks, and it was a very rapid process, but now he stays blue longer and takes him longer to clear to shed.

nothing to worry about mate.
