>>I have a baby male albino nelsoni that is shedding almost every week! He is eating one small pinky every week. I have raised other nelsoni that never shed this often? Also, he takes a very long time to shed and the skin seems to not want to come off unless I soak him and take it off myself. He has a water dish available at all times. What could be the cause of this?

Hi Zach,



I've had a few animals like that, i consider it a disorder and have not discovered a cure. Most eventually displayed other health problems. You can check temperatures but clearly that's not normal behavior and I don't think it's in the range of natural variation for healthy animals. I wish i had a treatment to recommend but haven't found anything. Vets & herpers have suggested various chemical imbalances in such animals but to the best of my knowledge the jury's still out. I'll be itnerested to see what ideas others present here. Good luck.
