Hellooooo
Kira has shed twice in just over a week, (shed, pooped, shed again) and I'm wondering why. She shed about a fortnight before that too.
She's an adult, weighs roughly 60 grams. She doesn't eat often, really fussy! She has no injuries, so that's not the issue.
She seems to be struggling with getting it off too, her snout and toes were left, although she does have a moist hide and plenty to rub on. She has mealies in the tank at all times, which she eats rarely, and won't touch if the vitamin stuff is on it. She has calcium in the tank too which I know she walks through as I gave up cleaning it up lol.
Plenty of hides, water, coverage etc. temp reads at 32.7 hottest, 31 lowest, on a stat. No companions. |

| Our two leos are not great eaters. They eat very little but still remain quite chubby. I would guess that she shed quickly like that because she had stuck shed on her. One of ours often has stuck shed on her feet and toes so we usually have to give her a little soak in warm water. We use cotton buds to gently ease the old skin off her toes. We find that when a bit of skin starts to come loose if we press it with the cotton bud on to the floor of the tub she will walk straight out of it. I feel shedding every two weeks is not abnormal. We also keep our hot spot a little warmer than you at 33-34c it never drops lower than this. What is the ambient temperature? How old is she? |

| I'm not sure on her age, I've had her since June/July last year from some kid who didn't want her anymore. She weighs just over 60g and is an adult though. The fortnightly shedding I'm used to, but she literally shed about three days apart! (Shed, pooped then shed again) and this is what's threw me. I couldn't see any stuck shed, I check her every time as the previous owner let her lose most toe tips, so don't want her losing anymore! Will bump her temps up, and ambient is room temp at about 20 ish |

| Is she looking a little rounded near her rear end? Can you see any obvious egg shapes if you look underneath her? I ask because leos can lay eggs even if they have not been with a male. Have you seen her digging in the substrate or at the glass at all? |
