Getting ready to shed?

[lillyorchid]

I've never seen what a leo looks like when they are getting ready to shed, all I know is that they pale out to a whitish color. This evening after offering Echo some crickets his head looked a little weird, so I snapped a picture.



Does he look like he may be getting ready to shed?

[Shelby]

Yes he does.. and he looks to be quite a character!

[lillyorchid]

Should I mist him or anything?
Also how long does it take them to shed / become all white?

[Shelby]

It won't hurt to mist him.. when he sheds make sure all the toes have shed. If not, soak him and gently rub off the dead skin. If left with unshed toes, they can lose circulation and have the toe die.

It should only be a few days until he sheds for you.
