How often do baby's shed

MickeyMac Oct 29, 2003 03:57 PM

I've got a new baby leo, I'm not sure how old he is but I would guess around 2 months. Anyway, he just shed his skin a few days ago and now he looks like he's getting ready to shed again. Is this normal? He's shed twice in 2 weeks since I've hd him.

Thanks for your help.

Yes it is normal. The babies can shed many time in one week.

Cool, thanks!!

I guess the little guy is growing nicely, then.

Yes he is

The older leos get, the less often they'll shed. For babies they can shed every 2-4 weeks, juvies can shed every 3-5 weeks, and adults can shed once every to every other month depending on their age

i hope we get to see some pix soon!
