: Roach seems to be having trouble shedding. usually his legs shed followed by his tail, body then head. this time it looks like he's haing trouble with one of his legs. is there anything i can do??? i've been bathing him for 1/2 hour a day in warm water then he goes dirctly under his heat lamps. what else can i do?????

Bathing and spraying is good. Also, keep an eye on his "toes". Sometimes if the skin won't come off, it can cut off the circulation of the toes. Usually when my ig's toes are shedding, I will rub them a little between my fingers to kind of "loosen" the skin. Also, I use a bath puffy (very gently) when giving a bath and he's shedding.
