My daughter called me at work one day because my panther was a strange color- in the middle of the phone call he exploded- (or so she said) - the message on the phone was very funny - by the time I got home you couldn't even tell he had shed except there were pieces of skin all over. It takes a little longer now that he's older. I can't wait to see new pictures of Edgar next week- every shed different colors come out and he is such a handsome guy.
