I received an LTR in August and she has yet to shed for me, I've never been really concerned because she's CB01 and pretty big (~43"), so I figured that she's just not growing much...She was in brumation for a month (Dec 15-Jan 15), so she's been out for about a week now...still no signs of shedding...but the tip of her nose is pretty dirty looking now, sorta brownish smudgy looking (and it doesn't wash off)...and there's little flakies of skin sorta sticking off her head in places...It's starting to seem like a long time to go without shedding, and I'm getting a little concerned...I've soaked her, doesn't help...I'm thoroughly confused. Is this normal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
