Shedding?

[Froggy86]

Soooooo, my big boy spud is new to me and has not shed for me yet, for the past couple of days he is really lazy and sleep in the middle of the day i don't think its burmation because he is still eating and drinking. Also around his nose and mouth have turned pink? I just want to know if this is normal shedding behavior or something more serious.

Thanks

When daisy starts to shed she turns this weird gray color around her head and tail. She also doesn't want to eat as much. I would keep an eye on him and see if he changes or not.

I am going to try and feed him now, don't no how much he will eat :?
Also the UVB i have now is a reptiglo i know the are bad and i ordered a reptisun but it wont be here for a few weeks,could that be the problem?

Yea that could cause some problems. When I changed mine to reptisun 10.0 tube bulb daisy changed a lot. She got more energy and seemed to be happier.

I really hope that happens spud is so lazy, he just sits and sleeps in the same spot all the time! :roll:

 

[brittani299]

He started to shed to day but only around the mouth is this normal?

 

[brittani299]

Yes the rest of his body will start soon

 

[Froggy86]

[brittani299]
