I realize this is probably a real noob question but here goes,

I gave my two their first feed (since living with me) last night and all went well they both had two pinkies each.
then in the night Ruby shed her skin but to get to the point there is some oily mess in her RUB at first i thought there would be a poo somewhere but nothing, is this a normal thing that happens when shedding or is it something else?
heres a little pic to give you an idea of what im talking about


Also how long after feeding should they not be handled?

Thanks in advance

That is poop I'm sure of it XD they tend to poop after they shed or during shedding. They should not be handled for 2 days after feeding.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
