Hi guys,
One of my 6mth levis had a incomplete shed a month ago. I did realise the tub had dried out so much and as a result he had a strip left on his chest and some under his front arm pits. I managed to tweezer off an arm band that was worrying me, and have been misting him once a day to get the rest off.
I try to gently rub it off but he is so wiggley that I daren't hold him longer than 20-30 seconds to try to remove much more. He has also got some off himself judging by the small flakes on the substrate.
So now he has a little bit left and is coming into shed again.
Will the existing shed be a problem?
My other levi shed two days ago, no problem so I got that one right.
I can see his tail and feet are going ghosty, so I have made sure both his hide are moist.
Temps are 31 hot end 22cool end.
Enclosure is 35cm x 20 x20. Desert sand.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Best case scenario this shed will just pull the tiny remnants off from last shed. It happens, sounds like you are on top of the situation though.
 
Yay! All good, he shed the old bits no problems.
I noticed he didn't eat those bits as they were the only signs of shed left.
