Awoke to a freshly shed Medusa this morning, didn't realise she had been in blue as she has been eating fine and hasn't been moody or anything! for a change Got the shed out and had a look, the tail end had broken off and it was missing the tip of the tail and about half a cm up. Got Medusa out and got some damp kitchen roll and let her go through it in my hands and it came off straight away! Had a minor panic attack thinking 'oh God what if it doesn't come off!?' but it did luckily. I will post some photos of her soon as I haven't for a while. She's got so big Showing some really nice red and orange colours!

Great, hope when Colin first sheds with me there are no issues. Apparently, he has never had any problems so fingers crossed :)

I'm sure Colin will be ok! Medusa's have all been fine and in one piece up untill now! But she's getting a big girl now so I had expected problems to come along sooner or later, just glad I had spent time before I got her reading about shedding issues and other problems! If it wasn't for this forum I probably would've been a panicking wreck when I first got her!
