Help Identifying These?

Really? Mine always go around the tank rubbing on plants and hides trying to get it off...and usually have to wedge themselves in between something in order to successfully slide out of the shed.

Well, they will do that. But I've had them shed even in totally bare containers. If a shed is going to go well, the skin will usually start peeling off the head all on it's own. All that is needed from there on out is a little friction.

My albino is still hiding from me after I had to help him with his last shed...poor thing was hanging out with his shed down around his neck and couldn't get it going from there...so I put him in a shed box...but then it started coming off in pieces, so I had to rub it off with a washcloth...he was not happy.

He'll learn that you were just trying to help him... When I had Squirt, she eventually learned that I was helping her when she had a mouth infection. It took time, though.

sooo happy right now. i just came home form getting crickets and i noticed blue eyes on my girl as i was about to put hibiclens on her. hopefully this shed really helps with her problems. im sooo relieved right now
btrw, should i just keep on putting hibiclens at least daily for the next month, and if it doesn't all go away then go to the doctor?
thank you, david

Lip infections can stay swollen for sometime as it heals.
There can also be scar tissue that will keep the lip a little puffy even after it is all healed.

I would say to probably put the hibiclens on for about two weeks and then see how it looks. If it has not improved by then, I would take her to a veterinarian that specializes in reptiles if there is one near you. Post some pics of her after the shed so that we can see how her scales and vent look, if you can.

SHE SHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY. the vent looks perfect, might have been just skin bunched up causing problem,s and i have yet to check on the possible skin rot,m but im hoping that that is gone too. she actually went to the bathroom while she shed and the skin came off in 2 big pieces and 2 other tiny ones. surprisingly perfect for the dry conditions she was in and the amount of time it took her to enter shed.
pics coming when i let her rest a bit. also she hasn't eaten in over a week, feed her or wait?. ill continue with the hibiclens just to be safe.
Thank you, David

No reason not to feed her. If she wasn't eating because of the impending shed..she is probably hungry. So glad to hear she shed. That is great news! Check and makes sure you see eye pieces and a tail piece on the shed and look at her carefully to make sure that none of the shed stayed on anywhere...especially around the face, neck and tail. Let us know what the area where the skin rot looks like now. Pics would be great...try to take some from the top and from underneath too.

Glad to hear she shed. Offer her some food, no reason not to.
