Shedding question!

Liselott Jan 12, 2004 03:12 AM

Hi, one of my uros shedded two times in a time period of 6 weekes. Is there anyone who had the same experience? I mean it dosn´t seem normal. He sleeps a lot, but i think thats becouse of the winter time. Both of my uros are sleeping much right now. He lookes ok, so i can´t see that its anything wrong whith him. I just havn´t heard of this before with any reptiles.
Thanx fore a great forum

My uro is 7 years old and 27 cm long (don´t know the weight)
He (and his brother) has been fedd more sens we got them this sommer, so i wonder if that could be the answer to the shedding. But can he grow so mutch at this age?

Reptiles keep growing during their whole life.

Maybe there was much vit A in its food. This causes, when you overdo it, more frequent shedding.

The animal on the picture looks fine to me.
