| just wondered if anyone else is having bad shed at the moment ? I have found that 2 of mine that have shed have had trouble with the head area , normally they are fine , nothing has changed with the set up , i upped humidity as usual . wondered if it could be that the heating is on more now as its cold and its drying the air out quicker ? |

| I've never been very good at helping with shed, it's not my strong point. I generally just offer baths and higher humidity but I can never get the technique of actually physically helping them down... Well best of luck to you anyway :D |

| yup, had a nightmare with my bumblebee last shed. 100% retained. spent about an hour and a half peeling and bathing the poor thing. the heating does dry the place out apparently so might be the problem. |

Yes! Shahi and Shiva both, although my corns have been fine. I haven't even had the heating on either, apart from one evening recently. I might have to order a bit of kit for the new viv; might order some shed-ease at the same time, just to have in.
Sorry to hear of everyone else's problems, though relieved it's not just me. Weird though ... |

Me to female pastel and spider
I did notice the other day the pastel had a bit of whistle to her and she's retained her eye caps and I couldn't find the head She wasn't whistling last night
Tryed the pillow trick but didn't work so I'm guessing the whistle is the shed and I'm keeping an eye on her
Will have to come of next time |
