    Re: Hatchlings not shedding

    Thank you so much for replying I was starting to think know one liked me LOL I'm sure they haven't shed, and I know they have to be tired of being on that wet paper towel not to mention the risk if scale rot. I'm going to move them now and just keep the humidity right with some misting.

    Re: Hatchlings not shedding

    Hi,

    I seem to run into a few every year that don't shed the first time.

    It seems to make them a little harder to get started on feeding ( bear in mind I start them on F/T ) but otherwise it doesn't seem too bad.

    The first shed is so thin it doesn't seem to cause any problems like constriction and it's just a matter of keeping them going till their next shed.

    You know we like you! We just aren't necessarily online at 1:17am EST. At a month old, I wouldn't bother keeping the paper towels wet any more, just keep proper humidity. Otherwise, you're doing just fine.
