just wondering how often should my frilly shed? and how long should the shed take?

hes doing it now for the first time (since iv had him anyway) hes only around 3/4mth old

anyone?

I don't know, but please don't shred your frilly! :lol2:

With my experience, around a week, but each lizard varies.

 

[JonnyFrilledDragonLawson]

hes still doing it.. was putting his chin on the viv floor and wriggling around earlier haha

Don't worry, my beardie has taken 3 weeks to complete a shed before!

its ok my panther normally takes around 2-4 days at least to shed

 

[JonnyFrilledDragonLawson]

ok cool, wasnt worried yet so alls good.. seems to be coming in very small bits though

 

[pippin9050]

thats what mt panther does it goes all over the cage!
really annoying:devil:

 

[JonnyFrilledDragonLawson]

well hes still shedding, but ive only noticed any coming off his head/frill area and his front feet/lower leg

nearly all my lizard shed their heads last...seems to always start at the tail.

What's it's humidity like? I think a few people are surprised that they actually need quite high humidity.

hm interesting, either hes done it backwards or he had started shedding before i got him and just a slow shedder so there was no noticeable bits

yeah i know, i try to keep it at 50-65% but it drops quite easily so will sometimes drop to 45% but this would only be for a very short amount of time because i mist twice a day

As long as they don't get any stuck shed, (I always have to keep an eye on the tails of two of my guys) then all should be ok, you can always buy some shed-aid to help them along with any difficult stuff.

 

[JonnyFrilledDragonLawson]

the only problem is he is still quite skittish so its rather hard to pick him up and inspect him lol.. from what i can see there is no shed left over on him (few littles bits on the frill)

 

[Tone]

I'd imagine it takes a while for the frill to shed, I'd leave him to it unless it becomes obvious. The good thing about shed-aid is that it's a spray...helps when you have a lizard like my cham who hates the world. I can squirt him from a distance haha!

Think I'm going to have a look at some frillies for sales...the more I look at them the more I realise what fantastic looking lizards they are.
