I have newly rescued a male BCI. Hes pretty much a neonate but was already in such bad condition by the time I got him. He looks skinny and had a full shed still on him. I've dealt with bad sheds but I've never seen one where they weren't able to get even started. Glad to say after a few soaks, I've managed to get 85% of his shed off and hopefully he can do the rest next shed. He has a pretty good feeding response as well. Pics are before I got his shed off.
