    odd shed

    Ari had an. . .odd. . .shed today, and I'm not sure if it's a sign of something being wrong or absolutely nothing to worry about.

    There's no stuck shed and he got all of it off in a very short time, but the shed skin is broken up into a bunch of little pieces--not one solid skin. Is it possible that he just slithered through the skin and broke it up after shedding it? Or is this a sign that something went wrong? His humidity was up at 70% since he went in blue a few days ago, but I messed up today (forgot to mist one time) and it fell to 65% for the last few hours before he shed, could that be why it's in pieces? Am I just worrying over something that's completely normal?

    I doubt that's why, I would just wait until the next time Ari sheds to be sure. Maybe his skin was just a little funky this time.

    Funky sheds happen from time to time.
    I live in so fl, humidty here is always high, and I get some who have funky sheds.
