I have 2 humid hides and the other 4 hides are sand and moss and paper towls. I think that I am going to have to start spraying her down. My male has never had this problem. He always sheds with no problem. She has had some problem that past two times. What could it be ? I bought a new hamic, wanting to see how the leos like that... i hope they love it, I have alot of plans for my leos in the near future. A second level even . She is gravid again to, NICE white bunches on her belly SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT. And i was wrong they can take pinkies. I feed them a pinkie just last monday. And they have already droped them, There tails are huge right now . I know i am sort of rambleing but I am not sher if the pinkie is wat might have given her trouble with the shed ? I have heard they shed what they eat.. Is that true? ( i dont think it is but i am not sher)
thanx for reading!

You should get a mister and put some warm water in it and mist the leo because the tank can get humid and the skin gets dry and you need to mist the leo so the skin get wet and moist and easy to come off
