He's shed 4 times since I've had him and each shed has gotten progressivly closer to this at first it was all patchy and he took a week and a half to get it all off then 4 days then 2 this time he started flaking areound his nose at about 5:45-5:50 I gave him a little mist and came back at 6 and he was just picking the last few bits off his back foot with his mouth. The shed was balled up in a corner. I checked him over and every last bit was gone not a scale on him. though he was testy and grumpy the last 3 days running so I knew it was coming up

I thought wow I gotta tell the guys this.:D

Wow, that is amazing! :shock: My skink Blue, I swear he sheds each individual scale off at a time, I never get a piece more than 10 scales large.

MY DAUGHTER JUST ATE THAT SHED!

She climbed up on a shelf, grabbed it and ate most of it before I could get it.

4 year olds, what the heck!

Eww.. I can't imagine eating a lizard's shed. Maybe if you crunched it up and put it in your cereal.
