Default My Leo shedding her skin and getting cross

Hello all!! i saw Norma last night for the first time start shedding her skin. I was making her moist box more moist cos she was all white grey looking then i said to my fiance whats that noise?? and all i could see was her tail moving when she gets cross and then i saw her rubbing her head against her half cave hide so i quickly put her moist box back in her tank. Then we saw her rubbing her head against the hole of her moist box. It was really weird!! lol!! but she looks lovely anf bright today!! Can they get cross when they are shedding??

Yup some of ours get very cross when shedding
Try and get something with the same texture as that wood stuff people put in with snakes ( for the life of me i cant remember what its called )
She should rub against that and it will help her get it off

Any who we dont use it in with the leos because of the crickets eating in to it
but if you can find a solid piece with the same texture as cork bark then stick it in with her
