Shedding question
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Just recently got this lil guy here last week & sometime lastnight between 10PM & 7AM he started shedding & its currently 12:15PM. How long does the actual shed take to complete? He doesnt come out of his hide much so im curious if hes completed the shed and is just laying on top of it or if hes still in the process? Should i lift the hidE a bit to check & see, i dont want to physically move him just in case hes still actively shedding. Any adive is greatly appreciated!

When you say ‘started shedding’ do you mean actually physically started the process or just went into blue?

Physically started shedding, i can see the head portion of the shed. Hes in his hide but from what i can see in there i dont see any stuck to him but i cant see the full shes cause hes laying on it in the hide

If he's properly hydrated, it should take less than 30 minutes.
