Shed Question

[Aardbark]

Im just wondering what to look for in a bad shed. What are the signs of a bad shed?

Zilla is sort of shedding, but its comming off all peicemail, and most of it requires me to pull it off. Espesyaly on her feet. I see a peice of shed hanging off of her, and I feel like I have to pull it off. However, Im wondering if Im just pulling it off early?

So in the end, what does a bad shed look like, and when dies it start hurting the tegu? I dont want her to loose her tail or toes or anything.

(ps, I soak her 2-3 times a week, and give her a vegitible oil bath once a week)

You will see cracks in the skin, the shed will appear flaky, sometimes you will see open sores

The shed is definitly flaky, but she doesnt have any cracks or sores. I want to prevent harm to her, so what do I do?

Flaky sheds arent alway bad but a lot of times its an indicator of low humidity which can be bad
