Hey Guys.
So my adult female has had a bad shed 2 weeks ago.
Cage details: Wooden cage with glass front. 2 plastic hides. large water bowl. Newspaper substrate. 65% humidity.
This is the first time it has happened and is very bad! I am stressing.
On her belly there are a few patches (each about 6cm) with stuck shed. I have soaked her numerous times like in this post but it wont seem to come of. Only a few Very very small pieces flake of. The scales seem slightly discoloured where the stuck shed is but seems fine once the bad shed flakes of (in those few spots where it does flake of).
She sits in her water bowl alot of the day so i guess it is bothering her as well.
Is it ok to leave the balance of the stuck shed till her next shed? And should i offer her food as usual? I have not attempted a feed yet since her bad shed.
All assistance is appreciated.
