liquid went blue on thursday and cleared yesterday at which point i put in some moss which he didnt use, now i woke up this morning and he`s already peeled off part of the head. does this seem a bit quick to anyone for a 6ish month old?

its the second shed he`s had with me, but the first was just as fast but only got half the skin off, which i think is becase he rubbed against himself in his hide (i was watching)

so is it normal for babys to shed within 1 week?

never mind, he`s just crawled out the moss tub with a complete shed nice and moist, even the tail. i was getting worried it would come off in bits like the last one

thought it was a bit quick but then looking at solids records he usualy sheds 2-3 days after his eyes clear, but then he is bigger so maybe needs longer for fluids to dry under the old skin(?)
