Helping Tegu with shed

[@TheInkyAbys]

People: wow that's bad for him Tegu: * actively crawling onto his lap *

[@thetwistedsamurai]

He’s clearly terrified, duh. Cuddling someone is definitely a fear response. This is absolutely animal abuse. //sarcasm

It's wholesome to see he crawled up on you which means he loves and trusts you a lot!

It’s amazing that when they shed their paws, the shed looks like a little empty glove.

[@brittyvegas9482]

I help my tegu also but i will soak him in the bath first to loosen any stuck pieces and just gently pull the shed off and it works fine.

[@jessiejones4378]

[@Bongoslam]

Are you sure that that isn't hurting him? When my lizards started shedding, I really had to pay attention to which parts were loose and which parts still stuck, to not rip their skin. I ended up softening it with water to make sure.

[@nickbutler9831]

Im sure if he hurt his lizard, his lizard would let him know

[@d34dmagg0tz]

tegus have smooth skin like snakes where most other lizards dont so theres not as much risk of pulling on a scale. id say hes ripping very loose parts so i think hes fine

[@prettylittleenclave]

Just because bearded dragons cant have shed ripped off doesnt mean that other lizards cant

[@drubpub8726]

[@ThatOneGuy-xd9sw]

Idk if this is true but I heard somewhere that it's not good to help reptiles shed their skin because the skin might not be ready and it can cause pain to the reptile. Do you know if this is true?

[@illdaddyrod]

The pieces I pulled off literally fell right off. I didn't force any off or pull on any that didn't just come off. I help him all the time in the bath as well. He rubs on me for help often too, especially on his face by his eyes.

[@SH-ln1uh]

[@lorrenzosigala9031]

Does pulling off the dry skin hurt the reptile?

[@datcomicnerd2212]

No your helping them

[@SH-ln1uh]

Yes, you're not supposed to do this. If you had a bad sunburn and were peeling would you want someone to rip the dead skin off of you. You have to be careful as some areas may not be ready to be peeled off and are sticking to the reptile and you can rip/hurt their new skin. If you want to do this you're supposed to soak them in warm water for about 20 minutes and then GENTLY pull the skin, to see if it will come off.

[@gerard6568]

Why is your dog shed sounds sound like Velcro man

[@chrispysaid]

Not a lizard expert or anything but I've heard you're not supposed to pull molting scales off

[@Timeflyer2]

Shouldn’t you soak him and then remove his shed?

[@smurfpvp562]

Are you allowed to pull there shed

[@francesnovak9589]

He needs to crawl on a rough surface to help him shed, not slippery floor tiles!🙈

[@figuresix]

Just got a 2 year old Tegu yesterday that was not cared for correctly. She is missing 5 toes due to stuck shed, she has layers of stuck shed on her tail, and is half the size she should be for her age. Other than soaking what do you recommend for getting stuck shed off tail?

[@illdaddyrod]

First off thanks for rescuing that tegu. How is its demeanor? Friendly? Mine has trouble with shed on the lower half of tail. Keeping the humidity up to at least 70% will help a lot. Soaking in the tub daily will help too. I will rub baby oil on Buddy's tail as well. I've heard KY jelly works well too. That's about all you can really do. Buddy lets me pick at his tail to help. He doesn't mind at all. If yours will let you do that will help too.

[@figuresix]

@@illdaddyrod She is so far not to bad. I do wear gloves because she has food aggression and thinks anything coming near her is food, but once i pick her up she relaxes and loves the attention. Ill give the baby oil a try, also be taking her to vet soon for a checkup due to person who had her never took her in, and kept her in a 40 breeder, and no uvb. But she does not seem to have mbd. I have her in with 8 to 10 inches of substrate and she loves it.. I dont think shes ever been able to dig and bury herself before. So thank you for the information I appreciate it very much.

Um, this is not good. Soak him and let normal activity accelerate the shed. Never ever pull dry shed, come on! Also, offer him his shed to eat, amazing benefits.

[@whosmighty9605]

True but that doesn’t apply as much to a bigger lizard as it would to a smaller one

I thought you were supposed to soak the before you assisted with shed. It sounds painful.

Are you suppose to just quickly rip them off like that? Serious question, not criticism because I’m no expert. I just saw you rip a few times that looked a little iffy, like that big one at the beginning of the vid that went to his face. It was attached to his eye and I’m just wondering if that can be dangerous.

[@SH-ln1uh]

No, no and no.

[@ianfinrir8724]

If it's very loose and hanging on by a literal thread, it's ok to take it off. If there's any resistance, leave it alone.
