| just a few questions about my royal, a few days ago i noticed that her skin went real dull and her eyes went cloudy so i presumed she was about to shed, a few days later her eyes cleared up and i understand that the shedding process follows the clearing of the eyes, the bit that concerns me now is now her skin has gone really wrinkly and loose, this will be my first shed and apart from the eyes and the dulling of the skin im not sure what to expect next. |

| Yeah skin goes super loose like its dehydrated, but this all comes off. Keep an eye on the tail end, he/she MIGHT need help with it. Mine did, even though humidity was high. |

i would use the cool one. will stay damp for longer.
I would go for ripped up newspaper. kitchen roll prob wouldnt stand up to a royal for long could end up messy. Put it in a old margerine tub or tupperware tub with a entrance hole cut in... |
