Successful Shed!

[Shayne]

Ok y’all....I think if we ever played “My Snake is Better Than Yours”, I’d win. lol

Went to check on Monty today and found this sitting outside his hide. Looks like he even took out the “garbage” when he finished. lol

Opened the hide and he’s completely clean. No eye caps, nothing.

Congrats! (To you for good husbandry, and to Monty for doing a good job, haha.) You've definitely got me beat in this department - Iggy is a good eater, but his first shed with me was an absolute mess, and I'm still awaiting his second shed with trepidation and a watchful eye on his humidity.

Though speaking of monitoring humidity ... is Monty always so good about leaving that Acurite to sit next to his hide? I've got my Acurite tucked in a corner and partially blocked off with a fake plant, and Iggy still finds ways to knock it over or punt it halfway across his tub, lol!

My beautiful boy stretching his “legs” just now.

LOL! Iggy sounds "active".

Thanks!! As you may have already guessed, he's never messed with the Acurites. I have 2. lol They're both just sitting up against the back wall completely exposed. Maybe try hiding them "in plain sight"? Sounds like Iggy may like to explore in the "bushes" from time to time.

Good luck with your shed!!

Good job Monty

Look at you Monty, looking fresh and perky!

And speak of the devil, I just checked in on Iggy now and he's gone grey, so that shed is imminent. Thanks for wishing me luck, I may need it! And I think maybe you're right about just putting the Acurite out in plain sight. He does like to poke around in the plants, and then before you know it, he's doing this:

Well, not quite...it might take a few days to go clear before he sheds.

And I think he's trying not to hurt your feelings, so he's playing with the 'toys' you left him. Hahaha!

Right you are, haha. Last time it felt like he went through the entire shedding process almost alarmingly quickly (went grey, went clear, then suddenly a blizzard of shed skin bits all over his tub), but we'll see how he does this time.

Also, @Shayne, what morph is Monty, and how old is he? Love the brightness and contrast on him!

Lmao! Look at him go! It’s almost like he’s targeting the Acurite.

Hopefully this one goes great for you both. Keep us posted!

He’s a “Firefly 66% Het. Hypo.”....also called a “Yellow Pastel”.

Yea, one of the reasons I was so drawn to him was his obvious contrast in such a vibrant color.

Thanks!!
