As it said, Spot has been hiding away in blue for the week, he came out today not in blue anymore and was crashing around his viv like a snake on a mission. I thought he was about to shed his skin so assumed a seated position in front of the viv to get to watch him shed.

Tail goes up, massive poo goes down, back into his hide. I could have afforded to missed that performance and was left with a huge mess to clean up. Cheers Spot, he'll do it when I'm sleeping now.

Well I suppose pooping before the shed is better :) My dirty lot poop while they shed so it ends up on the shed so I can't keep it.

PMSL, he hasn't shed yet. I'm going to probably jinx it but its going to happen this evening. I think Nimbus and Spot are running on the same schedule, I'm sure he was shedding last time Spot did too.

I know, sometimes even longer than that. Spot usually only waits 1-2 days before shedding.
