Uh oh... ?

[Pandora]

So I handled Pandora today for about 20 minutes and she was no longer Miss. Anti-social. and I noticed her mites were gone, her belly was white and her eyes didn't seem very cloudy anymore but her skin was really droopy and she seemed a bit chubby (a week after I fed her) like she was ready to pop out a nice big .... well, ya know... . Anyway... I set her down and leave the room for a couple of hours. I come back and flip out because her log is turned upside down. I rush over and look inside her tank and she's curled up beside the log but not under it. I take the log out, and lo and behold, there's a small flake of shed coming off. I look behind her after she moves a bit and there's a big pile of shed underneath her. Silly girl managed to flip her log over while rubbing against it? But at the same time I'm thinking how on earth she managed to do it because when I originally put the log in and made sure that it was very hard to push over on either side and placed it in the grooves of her hides. I ensured that she wouldn't be able to . Anyway, I'd left her alone for a few days after her hiss the last time I tried to handle her. I've been keeping her humidity anywhere between 70% - 80% so maybe she had a good shed? Although I think that's a very short shed. Not to mention, she basically didn't get very pale or dull coloured. I don't know what happened...

When I handled her today...


Her weird shed

I wonder how Pandora did that too...

What are Pandora's rules on her tank? I could read the last one... "If I were you - Leave me alone!"

It's more for curious fingers from my brother in law, dad, younger visitors etc. Plus it's funny.

Do not handle me without my owners permission/presence
Do not tap on the glass
Be gentle - No sudden movements and don't touch my head!
If I scare you, leave me alone!

I'm glad you changed the log to a more stable position. The previous way it was set up looked like an accident waiting to happen. She's very lucky she wasn't injured!

The shed is normal. It's good if it comes off all in one piece but that doesn't always happen. As long as it all came off that's what matters.

The two ends in the initial set up were set into grooves in the hides and were set about 3 inches way from the back wall and the top was leaning against the back as well. Trust me, there's no way she should have been able to push it over. I pushed on it from all sides.

But she did push it over, and it could have fell on her and caused injuries. I wasn't trying to be critical, I was complimenting you on making it safer.
