Tail shed?

sardoniccheese Nov 24, 2006 08:49 PM

My Male Mali shed a couple of weeks ago. And his tail well.. it looks like he only shed half of it.

Should I intervene? If so how?

Also is there maybe something I am doing wrong? Should I make him a humid hide. He is 3 years old and this is the first time this has happened.

It shouldn't be a problem. It will either shed itself in a while or a double layer will come off with the next shed. I wouldn't worry about it.
