No, brother, I let it go sometimes 2 weeks after her shed cycle ends. I cant believe I never took a photo of this. She clears up, doesn't shed then she gets a yellow and almost muddy sheen to her and her head looks almost like dry skin, I toss her into a tub of luke warm water for 5 minutes and that usually works.

I am going to do some common sense stuff. I will raise the humidity in her tub when she is in shed. I will give her one of those hides mad out of wood and bark that is in every pet store so she can rub against something to get started and I won't feed her when she is in the "blue." I'll get back to you guys.
