Well, I just took Buddy out to hold him for a little while and noticed that he was sticky. Now, I just today switched from shelf liner to Aspen bedding and was wondering if anyone else has had that problem with the Aspen bedding? I also noticed while trying to figure out the sticky stuff, that he has a few scales on his neck that are brown around the edges...I don't remember that being there before. Anyway I tried to take a picture of it but my camera sucks so...its the best I could get. Any ideas are great! Thanks!
