    First shed question?

    Will her sheds become better with age? If she shows no signs how do we know? My biggest question is that today is feeding day....Do I try to feed her?I was told she may not eat when shedding but I dont want her to be hungry. Thanks for your help.

    Sounds like it simply wasn't humid enough tbh ..

    I have a simple way of dealing with it ..... next time he goes into shed ( usually they hide away completely for days ) then I start increasing the humidity somewhat by spraying the viv well daily ..... then as soon as the eyes clear and the colour returns I start spraying well TWO or even THREE times daily . They then have a perfect shed a few days later ..

    As regards feeding .. if it's finished shedding it will probably be ravenous .

    How and when are you feeding incidentally?
