Just to let you know that Tia successfully shed today. I'd been out and when I came back I noticed she wasn't in any of her hides. I had a quick look behind the plastic foliage and there she was. She'd already started and the skin was about a quarter of the way down her back. I was pleased to see her head was clear. Unfortunately I had an appointment and had to go out as I would have loved to have seen her shed. When I got back I saw she still had some skin on the last 4-5 inches of her tail. I thought I'd leave her to it and see how she gets on. If she can't get it off I'll bath her tonight. Later in the afternoon I saw that she had got the last piece off. Her colours now are fantastic. Whites that any washing powder firm would be jealous of. I'd been hanging wet towels in her viv to boost humidity and these really helped. It looked like a tropical Chinese laundry. To think, when I got her she still had retained shed.
All the effort was worth it!
