I'm such an idiot! ~ it seems montys not shedding yet, he has scraped off a peice of old skin off his head about the size of a 10cent ! I thought it was odd that the 'shed' didnt start right at the tip of his nose! DOH!!! ~ still waiting, soaked him again this morning for an hour.


its bloody greebos fault!

Shadows - my beardies are much the same, one sheds nearly twice as much as the other despite similar growth rates.

Speaking of shedding, my 3yr old diamond who hasn't eaten since...whenever I started cooling her (Lol ) shed earlier this week. Glad she hasn't been losing weight, this was my (nervous) first time fasting her.

Also, please, this post is about shedding. If you feel the overhwelming need to make left-field accusatory comments, can you please be the bigger person and do it privately?
Thanks in advance.

Hey that is not true.The bigger man does not always throw slander in private.I once harrassed a bigger man and he punched me in my nose.Bigger men fight differently to us little guys.

Thanks wattso

Before I give you my thoughts on your snake shedding, was it July 18 that his eyes first went blue? Or was that just when you cooled him?
