My normal rubbed a massive hole in his snout last year during the breeding season. It took about 5 sheds for it to heal fully, but he did go into a rapid cycle of shedding every 3 weeks until it was mostly healed.
He also didn't eat for 2.5 months last year, and is on week 9 of not eating this year! |

Whilst Holly only pulled a few scales up on his head this time (which shed out nicely 1st time) Lister has had a nasty booboo!
Back when I first got her, she rammed her head through a hole in her faun that I had cut to make room for the probe and rammed with tissue. She ended up with a big nasty dig right on top of her head, and whilst it looked awful, it thankfully shed after about 4 goes. I still shudder to think if it had been deeper, her peabrain was right underneath that ;___;'l |
