Splish, splash!

Postby ShortStack » Mon Jan 23, 2012 1:36 pm

Coby has always had really awesome sheds, so I haven't had to soak him.. yet. Buuuuuut, of course this time his shed decided to be a pain in the butt and not come off easily. I figured I would soak him for a bit, and it was just what he needed :) I of course had to snap a couple of pictures of his first "bath" and figured I would share them. He was so funny in the tub, too. He wasn't trying to climb out, but was just cruising all over the place. Not sure if he "liked" it since I obviously couldn't ask lol, but he didn't seem to hate it and didn't spazz out, so that was good :)

It definitley did. As soon as he went in, the shed came off with no problem. I figured my streak of great sheds would eventually end, lol.

That's great! He looks all clean and new now! Kiah always needs help, he'll take weeks to shed, if I let him! Usually I have to lather him in some Emu Oil cream, then let him sit for a bit while it loosens up, generally an hour, then he gets a lovely bath in the sunshine- that part he loves, although he tries not to show it :lol:

Your skink is a beautiful colour, so creamy-English toffee, with some melted milk chocolate swirled in :cloud9:
