Hi! I got my Rankins at the end of May of this year, and he shed within the first week or two, but it didn’t seem as dramatic and there was still lots of shed around the tank but not a ton and I didn’t see a dramatic change in colour.
He’s just began shedding again and I’m worried that the irregular shedding is due to something else like Yellow Fungus or something. His colouring has also been all over the place so I’m just constantly stressed. He’s been super jumpy this time around and skittish and has been in his water bowl lots and trying to stick his whole body under the water. And dragging himself on anything and will puff up his belly and beard, and jump and opening his mouth. Which I know is him trying to break shed, he just seems significantly more irritated this time around.
When Yellow fungus or anything came to mind, I called every single vet and pet hospital in my province, and not a single one can take him in earlier than 2 weeks from now.
Do the pics attached look normal to you guys? Is it possible he didn’t complete the shed a couple months ago? His shed colour okay? And his after colour and such?
TIA!!
Info:
Male (16 months approx.)
Woke up from an interrupted, short brumation a few weeks ago.
Was just cleared last week from Pinworms and Coccidia after a month of medication.
