Hi Friends!
Can you help me identify what's happened to Zeus's little legs? Is this normal shedding, or is there a problem? He is on pure coco coir, sterilized and cooled prior to use. His temps are perfect (took forever to get them right). Humidity is 60-75 daytime and 80-90% night. This will improve once my ordered closed system enclosure arrives (still 2 months away). I've ordered the largest Animal Plastics cage, the T70.
I know the pics aren't great. He didn't appreciate the positioning. He seems to have patches of lighter colored skin on his legs. One of them has since peeled very slightly.
He's acting normally, but he's always been a bit slower than other babies. He eats much less than others also, but he has always been this way.
No chance of bullying. He's in his own enclosure. I spot clean twice daily. There are a few rolly-polly bugs in his substrate, nothing else that I'm aware of.
Thank you in advance for any help! I love this little guy. I have a vet appointment on Saturday, but there are no tort or even herp specialists around me. It's also very very cold here and I would like to avoid stressing him if possible.
