anybody have any ideas on how to darken my leo's blues and insure the brightness of her yellows and oranges?
should i add to her diet, get certain lights, is she shedding, or what?

Not really sure. I guess just make sure she eats as much as possible, has the proper amounts of calcium and other vitamins and plenty of water. Proper shedding too.. other than that I don't know what you can do.

how often do young leos shed? and what should i look for if she is going to shed, or if shes not getting enough moisture, i dont want to lose any toes!

dunno much about the blues...but for yellows and oranges im pretty sure that u can increase the temps and also add a hi-spirulina gutload for ur feeders...

Hello.
I was told, and from my own experience, my baby leo used to shed every 2-3 weeks.. this was when she was like 2-4 months old.. cause they grow much more rapidly.. now that she is 6 months, she sheds more like every 3-5 weeks cause she is already 6 1/2 inches long (head to tip of tail)..
for signs, you would see them turning almost silvery/white dull.. and all i did was make sure that i kept the paper towel in her humid hide nice and moist, for those couple of days and she would hang out there.. rub on things... and if theres some shed left on toes, you can take a wet q-tip and gently rub on the left over shed and it should come off.. may take a bit, dont pull it! it can end up cutting them etc... if that doesnt work, i've been told you can put them in some warm very shallow (like 1/4 inch deep if that) water, for a little bit and it should soften the shed... or in a container with nice moist paper towel (that what i would do, sounds more safe than water, to me)
hope i help.. anyone feel free to correct me!!!
