This seems to be a very hot topic lately, with a four page "argument" with several of us most recently.
@Decadancin has already mentioned the shower issue but I'll elaborate if you'll bear with me for a minute.
First, this article though it is a jacksons care sheet perfectly describes the point that was trying to be made in the other thread where thing got a little out of hand. If anyone reads it and doesn't get what it says I'll try to explain in a calm manner
.

I'll use Odin as a perfect example of needing to dissect the husbandry when trying to resolve shed issues. Odin is a wc male, for those that don't know, that arrived on 5-2-18 with several pieces of stuck shed.
They weren't large pieces save for the entire top of his head. He was a fresh import at that point for clarity though. He ended up needing a panacur treatment for worms along with meeting his other needs to help with the shed issue he had going on.
He had his first shed with me on 6-8-18 and it was a clean shed.
@Tiosk I know long posts suck but some times they are needed
. Though my posts in the other thread may have been taken the wrong way or come out the wrong way or both, I made my posts because I had just gone through dealing with a fresh import that arrived with a shed issue. Pay close attention to his head and you'll see the difference.
