Borneo with loose skin??

knigh006 Apr 30, 2009 02:25 PM

About a week ago my borneo's skin looked dull and kinda greyish. I though she was fixing to shed so I raised the humidity in the cage, and she laid in the water bowl for about 3 days. Yesterday she was out of the water. Today when I got her out, her skin was real loose. Like she was to small for it(lol). When she is curled up theirs wrinkles in it. What does this mean?

I think its still in shed, they clear up before their skin comes off. The skin wouldn't bother me, considering the grayish appearance, especially if it hasn't eaten in awhile.

you were correct. She shed the day after I posted the question, thanks
