    I believe it depends on their growth. Babies grow like weeds, so they shed usually once a month. Then as they get older, it slows to once every 4-5 months? Something like that I think. :?

    Can I leave a black light on 24/7?

    Yes, babies shed more often, about once every month to 6 weeks....juveniles probably shed less often (every couple months) and adults even less (every few months)....I could be mistaken however....

    Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.
