my baby tegus tail dosent seem to be shedding. he gets a bath every day. i have the humidity at 90% sence he was shedding the other day. i was wondering if you could tell me if this is normal. there is a perfect ring around the base of his tail where it comes from his body that is a different collor from the rest of him. it goes all the way to the tip it is that faded color like when they shed i have tried everything but baby oil. here are a couple picks and i have a video if that helps as well to see.

How long ago did he shed the rest of his body? The tail is generally the last to shed.

Off topic, I read your other thread. Your tegu is a Colombian, not an Argentine. Just thought I'd let you know.

I didn't even look at the pictures, but TeguBuzz is correct, you have a Colombian.
