shedding ?

johnnlv Jul 07, 2004 08:17 PM

I'm use to snakes going in the blue and after it clears up they shed. How does it go with a Tegu? Do they eat their shed like Leopard Geckos do? Does it happen all at once?

Thanx JohnNLV

Like the last post said, NO! No they do not eat their shed, no the do not shed in one peice, their shed is flacks some lorge some small, you do need to keep an eye out just in case it ever has trouble getting all of a shed off.
