You should give him a soak in some warm water, a bout shoulder height (on the lizard) deep.
give him about half an hour in there, maybe every day if you can.
you dont wanna leav it too long as his tail could die if it misses a couple of sheds.
Keep An Eye On Him In The Water Too.. |

and if it cools off, try and put some more warm water in, youl find it getting cold fairly quick, but drain a bit out if it gets too deep...
make sure he can stand easily, as he could easily get exausted if he is swimming for too long...
dont get me wrong, they can swimm well, but if it panics it will get worn out...
sorry for rambling... hope it helps |

On the topic of shedding. I picked up a hatchling coastal carpet. He is 4 months old and has only shed once, is this normal or should he be shedding more frequently? | |
