Shedding Questions

sbshortie Aug 22, 2005 08:43 PM

Hey guys..I have 2 questions about shedding. The first one I'm just curious about. It seems like my lizards tend to shed within a day or two of each other. Is this because they are the same age or do they shed just to keep up or whatever? My second question is about BamBam. He is all done shedding except a teeny bit of his underside by his tail and I think they're called spores. They are all rough now like the skin didn't come off. He seems to hyper to try to soak him in warm water. Any other suggestions?

I think Bam Bam and Pebbles get together and PLAN on the day they are going to shed just to mess with your mind, ehehehehehe (hahahahhaa) Probably because they are about the same age, could be coincidence ?????

As far as Bam Bam the things your referring to are femoral Pores, and yes they always feel kind of rough, stick out like tiny spikes on males.

If your worried about any hard to shed skin, rub a dab of mineral oil on the area, works like a charm in softening the skin.

How about some pics of the pretty pair?
