retain 1st shed

[koloo921]

does anyone have any experience with a baby retaining its first shed? Does it have future problems? What causes this?
Thanks

Hi,

I look forward to hearing the replies to this as I had some this last year.

By retaining I guess you mean that it has been the 7-10 days since hatching and it has not shed yet?

I am not sure. I am looking on purchasing a baby that retained it's first shed and want some advice.

Hi,

Has it shed since? Is it eating already?

Unless you have experience getting hatchlings started and there is something truly exceptional about this hatchling I'd pass and get one that is already well started.
