Ok. Clyde is doing great: First poo, 3 successful feeds (including larger prey) and first shed. But therein lies the problem!
He still has a small piece of his shed attached under his head (it's only around 2cm sqr)
I have tried bathing him. He don't like that much, wouldn't get the area anywhere near the water! I tried the damp pillow case for around 20mins and it is still there, and this evening I tried letting him run through a damp towel. The lazy g1t just coiled up and laid there (I swear he was sleeping )
He has a moss box and I put a larger water bowel in the faun so he can bathe and to raise the humidity a bit. The water bowl has some roughish edges to and the plants seem to be working at removing a lot of it. He didn't have a great shed but what has come off came off in 2 large pieces
Any suggestions? |

Had to help shelia out of her shed last nite...all 5+foot of her.
Let her soak for a while then used a damp towel. Just watch for her relieving herself when you get near her vent... |

if you hold that little flap he will do the rest for you, Boo did. Basically you act as the "something to snag it on" and they apply the pressure |

Thanks BE.
I wasn't too sure whether or not that would be ok, don't want to damage him.
Thanks again |

Just give it a gentle rub with a damp towel or flannel. |

This is his large water bowl (which he seems to really like)
You can just about see the piece of shed under his head. Well I suppose it is just behind his head. It's that little shiney piece that looks out of place (although I'm sure you didn't need me to tell you that)
