Hi guys,
Just wondering how i could help my sons blue tounge to shed? It seems to be having a hard time and now has tipped over a water bowl and wet her enclosure so i have tried to give her a spray like i do with my snakes and see how that goes,
Any other ways?
Cheers
 
Try putting warm water on it and see if it helps. Keep a watch to see if any skin gets stuck around his ankles or toes.
 
Im not sure with how long it will take but mine used to take between 1-5 days.
 
Has he got any rocks/ wood/ branches in his enclosure? They like to rub up against these abrasive surfaces when they shed and this helps get any of the loose, dead skin off.
 
Give it a bath in shallow warm water. Even put the plug in the sink and put it in there. Supervise it and make it shallow that it can stand and you can splash water over it. Works everytime, however I'm lucky I've never had a problem shed with my 4.
