hi my leo usually sheds really quickly but this time shes been sheddin for 2 days and theres no sign of the skin coming off. she wont go in moist hide. shes eating ok and coming out alot! is there somethin wrong with her?

im not sure if there is any thing wrong with her, but u should try bathing her in shallow , warm water and gently rubbing with cotton bud. check the temp is perfect

yer i do that with ghetto but charlie doesnt like it. she doesnt like bein handled anyway! when ghetto sheds she lets me bathe her and rub her feet but charlie wont lol! thanks anyway

I would use a tupperware box or ice cream container to make a moist hide that you can shut her into for an hour or two. Make a few air holes in the lid and place it half on and half off the heatmat. I find this less traumatic for them than bathing which most Leos hate.

My pleasure - hope it works for you.

hi i thought id let people know that my leo is fine and has sheddded fine. she has a moist hide and loves it! iv also taken the calci sand out and put in kitchen roll! the idea was to change from kitchen roll to lino but have decided to keep to the kitchen roll as its a little rough and is great for my leos toes when they have skin around them. so im happy and my leos are happy

Thats great
