    Re: Rubbing??

    probably, they start by rubbing their nose against rough surfaces to loosen up the skin.. make sure his humidity levels are up (60% or so) to aid in shedding

    did you observe his eyes clouding over/skin dulling?
    0.1 bp (julius - rehomed in 2008)
    0.1 red tail boa (bianca - rehomed in 2008)
    1.1 persian cats (morris [RIP 2016] & oscar [RIP 2015])
    1.0 burmese python (strawberry - rehomed in 2008)
    2.0 leopard geckos (quincy & froederick - rehomed in 2008)
    0.0.1 mouse in the freezer (roger - no idea. hopefully i removed him)
    1.0 bp (neke - yellow belly ball)
