The male mentioned in my earlier post was about to shed before I left for two weeks. When he sheds, his chin shed sometimes stays on.
If he sheds, say, tomorrow, and the chin stays on till I return, will that be all right?
Thanks!

He should be fine with a stuck chin shed. However, be certain to remove any and all stuck shed skin before his next shed. If the shed sticks, when you get back put him in an escape proof plastic container with a bunch of wet paper towels. That will rehydrate the dry skin so it will come off easily. Hope this helps.
