Hi guys, just a quick update - Gizzy is now eating us out of house and home, yipee !! and is basking most of her day away. :D We got up this morning to find a rather strange monster in place of our little Gizzy, lol.

Good going. Mine is getting ready to shed again too. At first I was worried that she had an eye infection when she started rubbing her eye turret on a pothos vine, but this morning, little patches of dry skin and wrinkles appeared all over. Soon she will look like a little monster for a few hours too. I have lots of rough sticks and peices of driftwood in the cage so she has plenty of good rubbing places to slough the old skin off. As a matter of fact, she is heading down to one of those branches right now.:cool:
 
Lol funny that - i thought she had an eye infection too, she had been rubbing for a couple of days prior to turning white this morning. I have never seen such a fast shed, within 3 hours she was back to her beautiful self, plus a very grumpy attitude, :eek: I hope yours is just as quick.
 
Her last shed occurred while I was at work about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I did not even know she had shed until I saw all the white bits of skin laying everywhere. She tends to get grumpy before she sheds, but afterwards she is back to her calm self.
 
Poor Gizzy managed to fall off her plant whilst trying to rub away the dead skin :( I checked her over visually as she`s a bit too grumpy to handle right now and thankfully she seems fine. It is amazing hw quickly they can shed, her last one took her days to rub off.
