Ok so I took in a few "rescues" and have some questions. I have had a 3 ft Tiger retic for about 6 month now. He has taken every meal except the last one when he was in full shed (didn't realize until it was thawed and thought we would try). He has only gone through 2 sheds and is in one now. He has such a hard time! Last time with much soaking we had success but the complete shed took a few weeks. It has been about a month now and all he has shed is his head. He doesn't seem interested in doing much more. Any ideas? I'm worried that he could develop a bacterial infection or something if he doesn't get the old shed off. Any help would be much appreciated !



Thanks,

Desiree
