I'd like to discuss the issue of shedding in the sense of a medical basis. Shedding is the process of living scale cells replacing themselves as mitosis takes place and cell number does not increase, but rather die and are taken place by larger cells.
Part One - Hydrogen peroxide tricks the body into believing there is a concentration of WBC's at a particular area, and therefore the body sends even more to that particular area. Hydrogen peroxide obviously oxygenates the area and works as a mild antiseptic in 2-3% dilution. The simple theory is that the lightning fast decomp of peroxide, could POSSIBLY cause the loose skin capillary embolisms. This would loosen the dying skin and prepare an auto-immune reaction to protect the skin. This is possible but has not been tested, and would oviously have to be adjusted to the oxygen levels of a tegu. This should answer your questions about decomposition. Hydrogen peroxide always decomposes (disproportionates) exothermically into water and oxygen gas spontaneously:
2 H2O2 â?? 2 H2O + O2
This process is very favorable; it has a Î?Ho of â??98.2 kJÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?·molâ??1 and a Î?Go of â??119.2 kJÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?·molâ??1 and a Î?S of 70.5 JÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?·molâ??1Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?·Kâ??1. The rate of decomposition is dependent on the temperature and concentration of the peroxide, as well as the pH and the presence of impurities and stabilizers. Hydrogen peroxide is incompatible with many substances that catalyse its decomposition, including most of the transition metals and their compounds. Common catalysts include manganese dioxide, and silver. The same reaction is catalysed by the enzyme catalase, found in the liver, whose main function in the body is the removal of toxic byproducts of metabolism and the reduction of oxidative stress. The decomposition occurs more rapidly in alkali, so acid is often added as a stabilizer. There is no alkali metals in your tegu so that should cause no problem, but anyone who has ever done the Freshman Biology Combo of beef liver and peroxide knows that this is not something you could attempt with full 3% solution, nor submersing your tegu. This theory of mine is the idea of a 1% dilution of hydrogen peroxide onto a cotton ball and applied to the area in which shedding is starting.
Part Two - My personal favorite. What in the world is fish sauce?! Fish sauce is a condiment derived from fish that have been allowed to ferment. Fish sauce is a staple ingredient in Vietnamese, Thai, Lao, Philippine and is used in other Southeastern countries. Instead of adding to cooking, fish sauce can also be used as a dipping condiment for fish, shrimp, pork, and chicken. In southern China, it is used as an ingredient for soups and casseroles. Fish oils, fish parts, and salt are set to ferment and then the releasing liquid is released. The oils in fish and the process of fermentation cause a semi-isoprpyl like alchol to be present. More like the ethanol that humans consume for inebriation. It is a viable antiseptic as well as an organic oil based lubricant. NOTE (The prices of fish sauce are determined by the alloted period of time to ferment.) Two conclusions can be drawn from the ferment time in realtion to antibacteral properties as well as their practicality. The older fermented sauce is much less potent in smell, but may contain a higher concentration of an alcohol substance, the younger will smell strongly but may not have the intensity of strong alcohol. I have not tested old scotch and young scotch on a wound to determine which is less or more painful and of course you would want your tegu to be comfortable. Oh and of course if you have the younger, the smell maybe too much for your tegu to resist and your hand could be confused with a tasty fish!
Part Three - Fruits. A precise definition of fruit. A fruit is a ripened ovary. After the ovule in an ovary is fertilized in a process known as pollination, the ovary begins to ripen. The ovule develops into a seed and the ovary wall pericarp may become fleshy (as in berries or drupes), or form a hard outer covering (as in nuts). In some cases, the sepals, petals and/or stamens and style of the flower fall off. Fruit development continues until the seeds have matured. With some multiseeded fruits the extent to which the flesh develops is proportional to the number of fertilized ovules. Fruits tend to be high in fiber and Vitamin C, and sometimes vitamin A. Neither Vitamin C nor A serve any dermetological purposes in the aid of exfoliation, skin disease, or basic skin health, whether it be your skin, scales, feathers, or fur. Some fruit contain natural helpers to cause a shine to skin, hair, and/or scales, but none of these "fruits" are fruits by definition of consumption. Vitamin A and C are both aides in Auto-Immune regulator production, but have nothing to do with the body's outer protection in any species. So if the only evidence we rely on is scientific, fruit does not aid in shedding nor the brightness in color of your animal. However, it might save him from a nasty bit of the common cold?
