How to shed A to Z by bluetooth (all in pictures)

Postby Kya Ajiira » Mon Dec 17, 2007 12:45 pm

Okay first of all mommy noticed me right away and she always does man what is so exciting about a shedding skink...anyways here are the A to Z steps on how to shed by me!

1) You know its time when your head looks like this.
Image

2) If you know its time to shed well of to work you go! First of all find a nice place to scratch your head on like a rock or the ground for example!
Image

3) The tricky part is the sides now for that you need to get yourself stuck between two rocks or something hard enough. I just used my hide and water dish for this part and it worked real fine.
Image

4) Repeat step 3 for better results.
Image

5) VERY IMPORTANT! beware of humans! they tend to give you this ''I wanna pick it up and peel it'' kinda look!
Image

6) Now time to take care of the belly and this is the easiest part just walk all over your tank and all over the rocks if you have any that is.
Image

7) You will need a little break every now and then its so much work to shed don't you agree? Then a good drink always does the trick.
Image

8) Then you raise your head up high to let it get down.
Image

9) And then....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Image

10) Oups! sorry i doozed off anyways hum back to shedding will we? You now should look sorta like this.
Image

11) If you don't well just start all over! If you are good then ask mommy or daddy tohelp you witht he toes because its kinda hard you know. (and i know mom has loads of fun taking care of my toes for me I don't understanf why). Well eventully it will all get of. I am tired so if you don't mind I am off to bed see ya! Hope you shed well!

I love it! This is great! Wish I could see my little ones...it's not so cool to get them in November and get all excited...then they SLEEP for the next few months! :( At least they wander around sometimes...but I only get to see them on the weekends since I am at work all day! :(

Well, at least I get to live vicariously through everyone else's pics! Thanks for sharing, this is GREAT! :D

During noticeable shedding times, I like to mist the cage, or provide a humid hide. In the wild, herps in shed naturally head for more humid areas.

How cute!!!! Maya is not very good at shedding -- I give him a few days, then I end up rubbing most of it off, he just does the head, tail, and feet/legs. Maybe I'll try misting next time.
