Need urgent help. shedding problem!!!

gavinclews Jul 06, 2004 03:00 PM

hi everyone. i really need your advice. I recently gave my friend my beardie to look after while i went away. When i got back he said that he had soaked the beardie and then peeled its skin off. I am really worried that he has pulled it off before it is ready. She has been a dull colour for a while but it didnt look ready to come off to me. If it has come off too early, will she be alright?? I mean she looks ok but i didnt know if it was possible to come off before it was ready or that if it did come off too early it would be ok. please help everyone.

highly unlikely that anything is wrong unless the skin was really picked at and peeled. it would be pinkish underneath but unless there is tissue damage, don't sweat it

Well all of the scales are perfectly formed and she looks very good. There is no pink bits or anything so i am hoping its ok.Thanx for all the advice you keep giving me. Some things i do know but really need a expert view on and a second opinion. It gives me piece of mind for me to run it past you people
