Shedding question

jhworley Jul 02, 2006 02:13 AM

I've had Tiny Tim for a little more than a year now, and I know that shedding is a normal thing for him. Every couple months he sheds the skin around his legs. However, tonight I saw him rubbing against a rock in the tank, and one of his scutes popped off, followed by another, I quickly grabbed the net and scooped them out. They are very thin and transparent. He seems to have other scutes below, but its the first time (or atleast the first time I've noticed) that his scutes pop off.

Can someone tell me if this is normal?

Thanks,
Jordan
