My tegu's tail is starting to look a bit whitish and i had a couple questions about shedding..

how often does it happen for tegus? how can i help make it easier for him to avoid problems? and anything else i could know would be good thanks in advance

I let mine swim in the bathtub with warm water in it. I test the water with the inside of my wrist like a baby bottle if its warm to me without being hot then its good. Also my blue and my columbian B&W shed about every 2 1/2 to three weeks. Thier tails are the hardest part for them to shed it seems I usually get some shed ease and give them a little tail massage. works well for me.
