Re: shingleback shed
Look great Richard! I have found that my rugosa, which are kept together in a group, tend to shed at the same time. Usually not all 4, but 2-3 always seem to shed in the same week. Have you seen that with yours?

Re: shingleback shed
I really don't pay much attention either, it's just that I will find 2-3 full sheds in the enclosure within a day or two. No big deal, I just think it's interesting. Kinda like what happens when adult female humans live together.

In the face, he does, although Lava has those gold bands across her back.
Beautiful shingle, absolutely beautiful. I love the boot polish black, especially with the shiny new scales after a shed.

Re: shingleback shed
I don't keep my skinks together, yet, but Jeff, I have noticed all my skinks shed within the same week for some reason. It is about every 2-3 months.. I find it very odd. Glad to hear someone else has experienced it as well.

That's a big difference from the freshly shed ones to the other ones. Beautiful!

Re: shingleback shed
Gorgeous, Richard. You have good reason to be enthusiastic about that youngster. Of course, the rest of the group is nothing to sneeze at, either!
