My Lovely Erowen is eating well again (6 red wrigglers last night, from my daughter, would not eat from me)
and as I posted before, she has 2 white spots where her hornes used to be.
Will they grow back?
They were tiny when I got her from the Pet store, but they were attached to her head. She is finally in shed (you were right, it is hard to miss) and she is not only not grumpy about it, she is moving her body parts to us, when we groom her (take off the bigger pieces)
we are spraying her 3 times a day, but making sure she is dry in between (not staying to wet, all the time)
I plan to get a nice pic of her as soon as her color comes back to the nice green (she was quite dark wne we got back from Vacation, I need a new pet sitter)
and I still have to get the planting of the Viv soon.
Man oh Man I do tend to ramble on

Take care all

the horns will not grow back. They are very fragile and easily damaged. Shed is one of the problems that can cause loss of spines and horns. My two oldest MHDs, a male and a female, both are missing many of the spines in their crest. They just don't look as cool without them. That's why the moisture during shed is so important. Even with good humidity it can happen.

It sounds like she has really settled in well. You must be doing things right for her to be doing so well.

Look forward to a pic!
