Hi all, Havent on for a while cus of life events...But all good
Arthur is doing ace growing well no problems touch wood
I the last 10 minutes he has shed...first time I have been able to witness it....however....i observed something which I really did not expect to see...I was watching what I thought was him coming out of his old skin but then realised the part of his body I was observing was his rear end and it was slowly disappearing through his shedded skin...down through the head end!!!!
Is this something any of you guys have observed...and he did this twice before finally leaving the shedded skin alone.
he does look rather gorgeous now

Thought I had to share this with you as I was in awe watching him

Happy new year all

Once. I haven't seen it happen, but found Bazil's shed one day, and it was a perfect, uninterrupted circle. I wish I'd taken a picture, but it was so weird, I was just trying to find the head and tail... then I finally found an edge - it was a rolled up head end. She must have crawled back into her shed, and then came out of the vent area, and the shed dried like that, a perfect circle.
