Shedding

[Boygeorge27]

How often do Yemens shed? Boy George is 3 months old and he shed about 2.1/2 weeks ago and yesterday he started again it this normal? Thanks

Mine sheds about once a month, but sometimes a little more

Younger chams do shed more often than older ones.

It depends on how fast he is growing. The faster he is growing the more often he will shed.

Pretty normal, he's most likely going through a growth spurt which when they are under 6 months seems to happen all the time. It's nothing to worry about, just means he's healthy. I have done so many rescues I get so excited when my babies shed. My jackson Hope, she came to me about 15 grams underweight and I'm not sure how much of that was because of lack of calcium in her bones and so they were lighter or if it was purely just fat and muscle. She has put on weight now, not as much as I expected for being 15 grams but she's supposedly full grown even though she's tiny, and just had 2 sheds in 2 weeks. Couldn't be a happier mama as I am now ^^

About how often do you think a male 2 yr old ambilobe panther would shed?

 

[Andee]

Depends, usually adults only shed every few months, somewhere around 3 months in my experience, unless they are injured in some way or putting on weight.

Reptoslicer is just finishing his first shed! He will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. I've had him for 2 weeks now and he is huge compared to when I got him

Here he is basking, hes a male amilobe panther too
