After having read a few more articles, I'm now a bit concerned. Kana started turning gray for her shed almost a month ago, before Christmas and right at the beginning of our winter break. The only part of her body that she has shed is her eyelids. She eats well, poos normal, and is a very active dragon overall. However, this is driving me nuts, it looks like the shed should be off by now, but she doesn't even act like it itches or anything. Just to throw this out there, she was indeed a rescue and had horrible care before I got her, she had a lot of built up dung on her scales and some scale rot that I treated with a Betadine solution. She's in a 40 gallon breeder with a basking spot of around 103*, cool end upper 70's, on slate tile. Uvb is a reptisun 10. Eats a couple of superworms and salad of collards daily.
Help?
sorry, took me a while to find the cord for my camera.
Here is a pic of Kana back in November, before she started shedding.
And here are some pics from today.
Sorry for the image quality, bad camera.
Exactly how many supers is she eating a day, she looks a tad bit on the skinny side. You can try putting some alovera on her at night so she doesnt lick it off. And trying soaking her twice a day in a warm bath and scrub her gently with a soft brissle tooth brush.
Sounds good, she's been getting 1 bath a day and no toothbrush. She just came off of a bout with pinworms/coccidia, and has been eating between 5-10 supers a day with her greens.
How old is she? I think she's on the skinny side too. Does she ever drink in the bath? I would increase her feeders to get her up to a better body weight and see if she'll take some oral water...
pudden318: I ran out of soy yogurt two days ago, so I've been giving her benebac mixed with baby food. I'll grab some reptaid tomorrow.
fez09: I'm not sure how old she is, I wasn't there when she was brought in to the store. I'm hazarding a guess of somewhere around 1.5 to 2 years. She doesn't drink in her baths. Should I just go with supers for a while along with the reptaid to get her back up to size? She seems to put on weight for a few days, then loses it.
