The new rescue burmese that I told everyone about just a while back shed a few days ago. He was really dehydrated when I got him, but after a proper setup and quite a few baths, he shed in a complete piece.
The weird thing is that he still looks to have eye-caps despite it. I thought that any build up layers of eyecaps would come off if he shed completely, because the new ones are under the old ones. Why then, does he still have clouded eyes?
Is it possible for the skin of the head and the whole body to come off but not the eye caps? I threw away the skin and as it looked whole, I didn't check for eyecaps on it.
He ate a large rat the day before this picture was taken, and he's putting on weight already. He's still a mean SOB :P
Here's the picture of him in the cage I put them in for cleaning the main enclosure. His bite wounds are healing nicely, but he still looks unhealthy.
