Henry is starting to shed as i type this but she is definatly stuggling. I need something rough for her to break the skin on her nose on. any ideas asap. Thanks in advance
I would leave her at the moment and get a rock for next time. If she hasn't got it off in a few hours then try soaking her in water for a bit because that could help.
Its ok, i had a rock but she used the substrate. I've just had the most immense hour. I new she was due to shed today and she was a bit more active so i just sat on my bed for a bit and watched tv keeping my eye on her. She started to get very active (which is when i started this topic), while she was active she yawned twice while i was really close, but of course, i didnt have a camera handy. She finally broke the skin away on the repti bark and went into her hide and out again so a section of her was inside. She then peeled away the skin and carryed on. After about half way she turned too tightly and it split which made it akward so i stuck my hand in the viv and let her run through a cirlce shape in my fingers so that i could peel the skin off for her..that worked fine but the skin ended up in about 4 peices. A while after that it split again. This time in the last foot of her body. I helped her again and to repay me..she pooed in her own skin..i was overjoyed! :P. (up side is im having m8's over soon so she wont poo on 'em!). I've only got the first 2ft intact (head onwards). It was amazing to watch and an hour well spent!
great stuff, my corn just shed, litterally a minute ago. its the first time ive experienced it and got to watch it too. what an amazing thing. It was a completely shed from top to bottom. im overjoyed as i thought he was having problems.
