    Shedding

    Well, Atticus finally made it through his first shed, and I'm sad to say it was a rough one. He was doing very well at first, and his face (including eye caps) came off nicely and in one piece. After that, things went downhill, and he tired himself out before he was able to make much more progress. This morning I had him rest in a warm, damp towel for a while, and then I let him slither through a wet washcloth. This was not a quick process; I had to gently rub his belly scales to get them to detach and peel, and I was trying to be careful not to force them. All in all, it took about an hour, but we made it. He took a meal almost immediately after his photo shoot, so at least his appetite wasn't affected by all the handling! As far as the next shed, I'll probably try adding moss to his hide and/or mist more generously. As always, I am thankful to everyone that has given me advice so far. It's good to know that even if things aren't perfect, there is a solution to be found. Post shed pics below. I especially love his blushing, so I hope that continues
