He might have a bad shed next time Kev, Sully had 3 bad sheds before she started shedding ok but it will sort itself out. |

it depends..he might just be a fussy shedder but I think its probs just a one off.. getting a hide and filling it with damp spagnum (spelling???) moss when he goes blue will really help him,
and with regular feeding he should shed roughly every 4-6weeks |

so try the bath again, then the flannel or towel...........
just wiping/rubbing away at the dry skin can cause a lot of damage! |

NO!!! you could damage the underlying scales!
either add a damp hide (replacing his usual hide with it if neccessary, to get him to use it) or give him a bath for 10-15 mins to soft the stuck shed first before GENTLY running a flannel or your fingers over it from head to tail direction |

Get a very damp towel or paper towels and keep wiping the old skin. When the old skin is wet add a little pressure whilst you are wiping and the skin should come off. |
