Hi there my 3 year old who's name has now changed to elliott has very bitty retained shed on his underside. i've been giving him regular baths and softly rubbing over his body with a soft brush in the water. although shed has finally started to move there is still a lot of very thick bits left and i'm sure his head has retained shed as well again looking uneven which again i have mangaged to get shedding but its not right. any ideas how to help him along i don't want to make him sore which is why it's taken so long this far.

Just keep up with the daily baths, keep him hydrated and leave the skin to come off on it's own. If there is any realy stupborn areas... use only a wet q-tip during his baths and roll it against the skin.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
