Shedding

Postby Reptile- mad » Tue May 14, 2013 10:18 pm

Hi,
Smudge does not seem to shed! I have had him for about 5 months now and he hasn't shown any sign of shedding! He is bright eyed and active when outside his cage and his scales look shiny and healthy. Is this normal? Mind you, he had finished shedding when I first got him.

Adults who are not growing and are healthy don't shed often at all. He'll probably shed sometime soon, but don't waste any worry over it :) He's extremely handsome and looks to be in great shape. And I am very jealous :grump:
