I'll have to grab pics, but I'm noticing with my caramel babies the ones in shed look incredibly dull. It makes for quite a striking difference after shed.

Donkeybuff, it looks like your skink gained 10 pounds from before to after shedding- your camera angle must have caught him in all his glory! What a colour change and a beautiful skink.

Hmm, I don't think we've had enough pictures ... :wink:

Heres a few, in the first pic one of our male northerns is halfway through shedding. You can see all the nice pink where hes shed, and all the brown where he hasnt.
Second and third pic is one of our easterns.
