Wondering if you guys could give me some pearls of wisdom to pass on...
Well, my black and white argentinian tegu is having issues shedding. After I sent you a message I called my reptile people and took him in. They said soak him retained shed is apparently a problem when they are in the wild and sometimes they have issues in captivity as well. So, they suggested soaking him. If she has any ideas as to how to get the shed off faster I'd be all over them. I've heard olive oil, but I also was told that it doesn't let the skin breathe, so something that lets the skin breathe but lets the shed come off faster would be great.
