so if she is a full grown adult, would she stop shedding?


No, reptile will shed all their entire life. But when they are full grown adult, they will shed less than before. (1 time per 4-6 weeks) icon_eek.gif

They are just like us, loosing their dead skin and replace by a new,clear and soft skin. icon_wink.gif

Hope it help! icon_wink.gif
