Hello. I wonder if anyone can give me some advice please? When I got little Omar out tonight he behaved quite unusually and was almost rubbing against me like a cat does - coiling in loops over my hand and wrist and pushing against me. No attempts to bite or get away and he didn't seem distressed and wasn't keen to go back to his faun when offered.

I have had him for three weeks now - he is on two pinkies once a week, is growing well and seems very happy - just unusual behaviour tonight. I wondered if he might be going into a shed? I haven't noticed him particularly dull or blue but did comment last night on the fact that he looked particularly shiny and bright. Definitely hasn't shed already as I checked the faun. Just wondered if anyone else had had similar behaviour with their corns? I feel like a worried mum but my gut feeling tells me that he is ok!

I've not had Fuzzy that long and as she's fully grown have only had one shed so far.

However before she went into blue she did nuzzle against me quite a bit like Omar is doing.

Sounds exactly like a snake trying to get a shed started to me. Before they shed they go dull for a bit, then they brighten up for a few days, then they shed - have you checked his faun today?

Yes - still nothing to see. He came out tonight very happily and then did a massive poop all over my partner and his i-pad! I am trying very hard not to laugh too much and be sympathetic, but it really was very funny! I think he must be coming up to shed too - he has grown a lot. Going back to the dog (snake) house now with my relieved little Omar!
