Hatchy Shedding Already?

[Prof_Moreliarty]

Hey all one of my hatchys is a bit smaller than the rest and appears to either be shedding already or maybe didnt develop as well as the rest? he looked small but ok at 1st now looks like he is shedding, he would of popped head out on 27th and out of egg 29th/30th. photo is from today seemed alert but not much tongue flicking.

I was under the impression 2 weeks before they will shed and the others dont look like they are in shed.

Not shedding.
You need to keep hatchies on damp substrate prior to their first slough or they will dry out as you have just found out.

Ok thanks for advice mate.

Yup Ramsayi is right!! I spray my hatchies and make sure there paper towel is damp for them
You don't want those little ones drying out good luck

So he did end up shedding i assume induced though as he had dried out? anyway he's a handsome little devil.
