Pre shed of Xena

[2kdime]

It may just be me but my girl doesn't get wrinkly. She stays pretty until the shed comes off. Try bumping your humidity up past 70 at least. My girl sheds bad at humidity under 75.

And keep it at 50 to 60 all the time between sheds. And change her water daily. If I remember correctly a bad shed with the wrinkly skin is a sign of dehydration.


If she's not trying to shed yet. DONT soak her. It can make it even worse. Give her time to try herself. And if she can't get it off after a day or so. Then soak.

Good luck to you!!!!

She is rubbing on everything. I'll up the humidity and see how that does.

I wouldnt worry my bp gets wrinkly like tht all the time and she sheds fine.

My older girl gets a little wrinkly like that and has an almost greyish tint to her just before shedding as well and sheds all in one peice.

At this point I would just make sure that her humidity is bumped up, don't soak her just yet. I would wait until she gets most of it off herself and if there are still bits of stuck shed on her, that's when I would soak her.

From the pics I would get 2 identical hides for her tank and maybe cover up 3 sides of the tank so she feels a little more secure. There seems to be a lot of open space.

Very cute little girl!!!
