I went to take my roughie out and found he's in the middle of shedding! Is it ok to handle him immediately after or should I wait some time? Cheers
Maybe if you view it through a microscope you would notice a difference but to the naked eye they still stay shiny and bright. Of course washing your hands before handling would be common practice so should be fine.
You're talking about the iridescent sheen if you want to get technical. I know what you mean and I stand by what I said.
I don't know what I was expecting but I thought his skin would be more delicate like a newly metamorphosed cicada or something. Silly me
