Oh no first shed issues.

[supermum]

Dora just had her first shed since being with us, it didn't come off in one piece. I don't know if its because parts got caught on her plants or something and tore or what, this is how it came away



We have found one eye cap, and the other half is 90% sure he found the other while rummaging through the aspen for the skin but he lost it amongst the aspen

We think she has a bit stuck on the end of her tail, she's hiding in her hide now so we can't see properly, so i'm unsure if she's managed to get it off herself. She has a bowl of water in her viv and the other half has sprayed her tail with water in the hope it helps, we don't want to disturb her until we are sure of what to do next, I don't have a humidity box made up, but google suggests she will need one

Would a warm bath help? Is there anything else I can do for her? How long do I leave her for before handling her to see whats going on?

The actual shed was quite fast (with in 20 mins, maybe faster) her eyes and colour returned to normal colour about 2 days ago, so we knew she would shed with in the week.

I would pick her up and check for shed on the tail if she does have any,soak a pillowcase in water thats warm then put her in it for 15 min let her slither thru it should help get it off

Thank you for your response, we ended up putting her in the bath and the other half managed to gently ease it off, it was pretty loose anyways so I think she would of managed to get it off, we had a pillowcase ready just incase it didn't work. Naughty Dora was just out to scare us I think! lol

Congrats on first she Just up the humidity a little next time.
How old is she and what size?

Thank you, I am going to make a humidity box for next time, I can't be doing with any more heart attacks lol

She is a year old and approx 3 and a half foot length (we haven't actually measured her yet, we are guessing by how long she is when she's full length in her viv, she's in a 4' viv and almost fills it when she is showing her length)
