Being what and who they are they can be provided swamp conditions on occasion,2-3 days at a time..We do it for the shedding process..The prominent backbone and
massive girth clearly says if not provided with proper conditions I will leave stuck shed pieces to myself..Once the shed process is over we go back to the normal set up..This will allow for them to become better hydrated, This time of year with heaters running its tough to maintain the perfect coat..
