Nazar is having a shed and yesterday her tail shed came off and her tail spikes are extremely brittle and the scales are spaced out with the spikes overlapping eachother, it looks like human dry skin, is this perminent? Did i not put her humidity high enough? I usually keep it at around 35 for sheds but it's been at 20 this time because her water spritzer broke

It wouldn't let me upload a better picture but the stuff on the side is all the way around her tail and worse on top

It just looks like the bottom of the tail still has to shed so the area at the edge is still brittle. that should be OK and will shed away in time.

You can see where it goes from normal to weird, it's lighter and has more of a pineapple texture/look. I let her go for a swim the other night and she wasn't acting like it was hurting so I don't think it's from lack of humidity

Hi there, I agree that it's just the demarcation where the shed is still waiting to come off, nothing to worry about though. :)

Above the white spot at the bottom I mean, right where the tail starts

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
