    Shedding issues
    As some of you may know I got a great deal on a true Suriname redtail this past week and I brought her home on Friday. Since Tuesday( date I originally saw her) she been going through a shed and is now start to flake her skin.
    I been soaking her 10 minutes or so a night in the bath tub and I moved the water dish under th RHP to keep the humidity up in the enclosure
    any tips on why she hasn't shed yet?

    Did you watch her go through the blue phase? I'm just wondering if she had already gone through the full shed and the flakes are just remnants.

    I picked her up after she went through the blue phase
    she has red belly and skin is just very flaky and loose
    I just picked up a shed at the store
    on my previous post this is what she supposed to look like
    right now she's very pale skin

    I'm thinking she hasn't actually shed yet, maybe this is retained shed from previously on top. Keep the humidity up in the cage and give her a few more days, see what happens.

    I soaked her yesterday with a shed-aid in Luke warm water in my tub and she started to have the old skin come off, I got what I could without having to sit there and peal her entire body
    I did bump up the humidity
