Pooka is finally shedding!

[Pooka]

Hi all,
I got home tonight from the gym to quite a suprise. Pooka was on her rock archwat rubbing her face on the rock where there was small amount of water. A few squirts later and I noticed a section of her head was dry. Upon closer insepection I realized the head was not dry it was a different color altogther, it was fresh skin. A few more squirts and some scracthes and she had most of her head clear of the old brown skin revealing gorgeous gold/greeen scales underneath. I just wanted to share with you guys as you all know I have had Pooka for a few months and she has not done a proper shed untill now. so, here are some pics.

Hi, sorry about the size of the pics I had embedded in my previous post. I went ahead and took the embedded pics out and just posted links to the pictures as they are a bit big to have embedded and I do not want to resize them then reupload them a 2nd time. I hope you enjoyed them.

Yay! She's going to be a beautiful green in a week or so! She'll look like a new dragon. She's soooo cute and tiny.

glad pooka finally shed. Outgrew the old skin, ya know she is agrownin Cronus and Perseus seem to shed constantly but they are gaining between 10 and 25 grams a month. Have to admit I don't know how, they really don't seem to be eatting much.

It is funny to see them change to a dull brown color before shedding, and you may notice they really don't care to be touched during the shed time but when the skin falls off it is sure worth it and I know mine seems to get a lot more active again after the main part of the shedding is over

Yes she has seemed just a tiny bit aloof the last day or towo now that you mention it. She sure likes playing in the water spray now that she is shedding though, i suppose it may itch a bit.
