Meatloaf seems to be enjoying his new home, but he still isn't used to being handled at all. I was wondering what the best way to get them used to handling is? Should I try to handle him fairly often to get him use to it, or just leave him be for the most part? Also, he was in shed when he arrived (about 2 weeks ago), and his shed doesn't seem to have moved at all. How long does it take a uro to shed usually? At what point should I think about intervening? I'm doing my best with this guy, and feel like an overprotective parent right now. Thanks!

when a shed goes good for Kooz he busts out like the Hulk and it takes only a few days. Dhaki has had problems with shedding her tail it seems like forever, but while I was away she shed completely.

Uros often take a LONG time to shed. Don't worry about it - there's no need to intervene.
