Molting problems
Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2013 9:07 pm
Hello,
My bluey molted about 2 weeks ago but this seems to have been one of the longest/toughest molts for him so far (I've only had him about 8 months though.) There are a couple of random individual scales or clusters of scales that do not seem to want to come off...even after a few weeks. Is this something to worry about? Should I increase the moisture in his tank? Should I try to delicately "assist" in the scales coming off? They're not impeding his mobility - I made sure there were no dry scales on his feet or fingers/toes.
Thank you in advance.
