wrinkles

[RoyalGuardian]

I came home today from school today to find my baby in the corner of her cage and what I saw terrified me... She was really really wrinkled! She literally looked like I hadent fed her for months and let her shrivel and harden for months. I then realized that my Aqua hide had dried up... I felt so horrible but there was nothing i could do while i was at school. When I saw her in such a scary state I quickly ran downstairs to wet the Aqua hide again. I was so worried... She is in her AH right now so I hope it helps... *relived* I'm so glad that she enjoys it ^_^( i made it myself)

is she in shed maybe?

In case you didn't know she is in the last step of shedding

If she's wrinkled, it sounds like she's having a bad shed that's starting to dry on her. I'd recommend a 30 minute soak in a tupperware dish with a lid on with LUKEWARM water only as deep as almost up to the top of her back.


Put the lid on, set it inside her enclosure on the warm side and DON'T forget about her. After 30 minutes, take a warm wet towal or washcloth and let her slither through, and it should come right off.

yup

Maybe a bad shed, but she could've been dehydrated. Make sure you keep an eye on her. Always check before school.

yep mine did that and I must admit, I panicked! - shes definately in shed - gave mine a 30 minute bath in the sink and made sure he didnt escape (they move so fast in the water!) - I didnt use the towel technique tho, i simply put him back in his tank and he managed to remove the whole lot in one go.
