Southern scrub retaining shed
My young male Aru Amethystine went through slough this week, but he's still retaining about a third of his old skin. This is his third shed in the eleven weeks I've had him, and his last ones were fairly smooth, a couple pieces.
He has an elevated soaking dish, and consistent, monitored humidity (60-70%), and plenty to rub and wring on. He does seem to be making an effort but he seems to be having little success.
Could these retained patches impede growth or cause discomfort? Do I need to help him undress, or is this something he has to learn on his own?
