Stuck shed

Nicoleo Sep 22, 2005 01:17 PM

I'm having a serious problem with my female beardie she's got shed stuck to 95% of her tail and a lot of one her back feet. I've been soaking her and I bought shed aid to get it off but nothing is working. I've never had a problem with her shedding but I can't seem to get the shed off these two areas and I'm out of ideas. The soaking and the shed aid worked on the other two feet that had a problem but I need some other suggestions since this shed is on her like its been super glued.

Just keep soaking her in a warm soak for about ten to 15 minutes. When you try getting the sking off try rubbing/ rolling your fingers together back and forth instead of pealling. Sometimes it takes a while for them to shed if they are in whats called a deep shed. It just recently took one of my females 2 and a half weeks to shed her tail. Someties you just have to be patient. If it looks like its getting worse then take her to a vet.

peace,
nate
