Veil = White???

Jmorgan Aug 22, 2004 02:09 PM

I came home from church, looked.. he looked fine cept a cpl small spots on white very small I thought maybe a shed was coming(his first with me..)

and then i just walked by.. maybe 1hr after i got home .. his entire veil = white..

is this shedding or what? at first it was solid white, now i can see green where some has flaked off.. but its just his veil..

i've had him 2 wks last friday, and hes been eating good.

Im fixent o go spray hott water in his cage, i've heard that'll help a shed right?

I mainly wanted to post to MAKE sure this is a shed?

Sounds like shed to me. My little guys shed almost all at once but my male sheds in patches like that.

thanks i sprayed his cage, and him(dont' normally do this) alot of it came off, somes still on but its more peeled back lookin now, like its just gonna fall off netime.. at first it almost looked crusty from afar so it scared me

he then went up to his basking spot and turned his design with dots. i think he was pissed;x lol

I use really warm water in the spray bottle and mine seem to like that. They used to run from it but seem to enjoy it now.
