Re: Pre-shed soaking?
My JCP never uses his hide either - quite glad it was a cheapy! He will curl round the outside of it or lie next to it but not under it - i think he is too nosy to hide away

Re: Pre-shed soaking?
Woohoo! His eyes have officially turned blue. I thought the rest of his body looked dry before, but now it's definitely ready to shed. I'm very relieved. So about how long between blue eyes and actual shedding can I expect? I'll be up every hour checking him out. LOL

anything from 5 to 10 days after his eyes clear up and go out of blue you should have a shed
he should start eating after that norm

Re: Pre-shed soaking?
Thanks again. I'll keep an eye on him but otherwise leave him be. I can't wait til he sheds, I want to see if he'll finally eat.

Re: Pre-shed soaking?
My carpets eyes go blue first and then clear pretty quick - usually about 10-14 days after is the shed.

Re: Pre-shed soaking?
How many days does it take from blue to shed for Jerome? 5 days. Woohoo!
And now this is the first time I've ever seen him use the inside of his hide. Maybe he's cold after losing a layer of skin. hehehehe
I'm thinking give him today by himself and try feeding again tomorrow. Sound good?

Re: Pre-shed soaking?
It came off in two pieces. The head and then everything else. Very exciting.

also always check the tip of the tail has shed properly
i bought a young carpet that lost the tip of its tail due to shed retention with the previous owner
if the last few millimeters of tail retains it can constrict the blood flow and the tip dies
check the shed for mites if you want peace of mind over the whole water bowl scenario norm
glad to see all the worry was over nothing mate
all the besat shaun
