    Shed Question

    My girl shed last night and it all came off in one piece for the first time since I've had her. Usually comes off in 2 pieces, but thats not the problem. Ive noticed on the side of her body after the last 2 sheds that it looks almost like she was either rubbing too hard agains something or the shed was sticking a little when she was in the process of sheding and just has a kinda rough rubbed affect on her side. This shed more than the last. Humidity was at 70 for her shed and she shed in her favorite hide which is just a normal half tree stump thing you can get anywhere. never noticed it before and she seems fine and all but I was just curious if anyone else has this problem. Oh and this is her 3rd shed in 5 weeks. Is due to her old injury that is completely healed now I think. She is only 4 months but not growing too fast or anything. Her last shed she was 185g and I will weigh her again when I get home but she just ate on Sat cause she has no problem eating in shed. well let me know if you guys have any thoughts on the topic. Im at work so I cant send pics till tomorrow if you wondering.

    i'd say thats pretty normal, mine gets marks like that sometimes after he sheds, and the scales will look kinda dimpled and rough, but it always goes away. the only thing i'd watch for is bleeding, mines had a couple really rough spots that were basically like rug burn almost and they would kinda bleed and puss a little, not really noticeably, just if you rubbed your finger on it you would feel it, if that happened, maybe put a little anti-biotic stuff on it
