Hi all

When i handled Marge last night, the first for two days as i fed her on sunday, her skin was really dull and pale. This normally means she will be in blue tonight or tomorrow and shed shortly after.
According to my records she last shed 5 weeks ago and this will be the 3rd since april!!
I assume she is having a growth spurt, as she appears healthy and has always been a good eater.
If she carrys on like this, she will need to move from a faun to a viv sooner than planned.

You will find this often happens Glyn. Corn hatchlings are normally kept on a maintenance diet when they are in a pet shop or at a breeders, so being given enough food to survive but not enough to thrive and grow. Now she is with you she is being fed properly and growing beautifully....hence the growth spurt! All good news .
