    Stuck shed and a cut

    Lesser some how got a cut on top of his head, and the shed around it stuck. The shed is only on top of his head near the cut, his eyes and the rest of his came off fine. Will the stuck shed around it cause the scales to die? And should i expect it to come off with his next shed? Thanks, Matt

    Re: Stuck shed and a cut

    Hi,

    The stuck shed shouldn't cause any problems but keep an eye on the cut obviously to make sure it heals ok.

    It probably will come off ok with the next shed but double check the humidity and don't panic if it slightly opens the cut during the shedding process as that's quite common.

    It should all be fine just keep an eye on it to make sure you notice any problems early.
