[QUOTE="Chris., post: 2030711, member: 118223"] Hello everyone, my boy Luis is finally looking like he will start shedding soon. At least he's showing all the signs. He's not moving much, avoiding his basking spot, hiding more and showing a dark skin (pale at the tail and back legs), sometimes stress lines and a black beard. I've seen him eye bulging only once this week but I'm not around all the time so he may do it more. Now here's the thing and I'm really curious how you guys handle this. At the moment I feed him two days on and one day off (only salads that day). Because he's on the smaler side (16.5" at 11 months) and I want him to put on some length, he gets rather big meals of insects and he's eating them without an issue. Basically I let him eat as many as he's ready to run after and then stop. Would you feed less until he starts basking more again or is this only an issue if he gets diarrhea or something? He hasn't so far but he poops really irregularly, sometimes once a week, next week every other day. It's firm though an looks normal with big white urates. Or would it be an option to raise the temps a bit so he gets more heat on the cool side or when in his hide? The basking spot is at 105 and cool side where he spends most time right now at 82. I'm thinking to just continue what I'm doing right now and let him do his thing but are there any signs to look for at which I need to change something? Last time it took him forever (almost three weeks) to finish his shedding and I'm about to go on vacation for three weeks, where I won't be able to do much adjusting, so I worry quite a bit ;) Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
