shedding issue

droolsinsleep Nov 05, 2003 01:03 AM

Beast has been having some problems i think... he hasn't had a good shed in a few weeks.. when i scratch him scales come off in my hand, but that seems to be it.. i've been soaking him, tried a bit of olive oil to help.. he hasn't been eating much lately so i don't think he's getting enough vitamins and whatnot, which is also a concern of mine

any suggestions on what i should do? thanks in advance

the warm baths are great but I found that having good moist substrate with high enough temps to keep them warm works better as they can stay burried in it for longer periods.
