Hey guys.
Kahn has had 2 feeds with me now and I was expecting him to she'd about a week n a half ago. I must have misread the signs. Having him wrapped around my arm right now I think I must have misread because he seems to have a oily blue shimmer to him...
It seems more pronounced now. Could this be a sign of a possible shed? And if so at what stage will he get milky eyes?
I may sound like I'm worrying but I just want to make sure if he's going to shed that I can help him out with viv conditions.
Did try get a pick but it doesn't show up the shimmer very well.
Thanks :)

when mine go into shed they get a lot darker, there ventral scales goes a red colour and a few days later they will go blue then they will go clear again a few days later then shed.

The first syed mine had with me was noticeable as he sat in waterbowl for 4 days. The last shed just happened. Once his eyes cloud just up the humidity and hell take care o the rest. It's exciting tho

When it happens, you'll know.

It would have been before I bought him. So at least 2n a half weeks ago.
My friend who works at the shop new I was after a royal and told me about him. Said he eats and sheds fine so I'm almost 100% he's had a good shed or two within his time at the shop.

When was his last shed?
lewman Posted - 16/05/2013 : 10:52:04
Haha well I have no idea I've handled him everyday and haven't noticed cloudy eyes yet. We shall just see how it goes I guess. :)

Oscargoes dull, eyes cloud ( for about 2 days), head looks as if skin wants to peel then eyes clear and he sheds within 72 hours. His last shed was 5 weeks or so after the previous one and I completely missed him bein in blue. His shed took me by surprise when I went to get him out for a play and he was ultra shiny, almost wet looking
