Hi folks,
Has anyone seen a corn shed twice? Cobus first shed didnt come off in 1 piece so i made him a moss hide which he hasnt left since i put it in the viv, it started to loosen the rest of the skin but never really came off.
I took him out tonight and his eyes are going blue so i can only assume hes starting to shed again. Anyone seen this before? Is it normal?

| Whats probably happened is the first shed was retained for a while, and hes gone into shed again to try and clear it, its fairly normal for corns to shed more than once in quick succession. |

Me too. Its common to go into shed, regardless of the last one, if affected by mites or healing after after injury, but I've never come across one shedding again after a simple bad shed... |
