He eats at LEAST 20 large Dubias (dime size)or breakfast and dinner plus a couple more for lunch. He’s starting to really eat a lot of greens for breakfast before his proteins and I’ll catch him eating it all the time. I️ give about 3 to 4 baths a week. The problem is his body hasn’t shed in a long time. It was shedding before

I️ cut off a lot of the text somehow accidentally when I️ posted the picture. The doc says he’s gaining weight after my 2nd appointment and his head and tail have already shed twice but his body hasn’t in about 6 weeks. Is it normal for it to take So long to shed his body??. 2 weeks ago I️ wanted to post it butI️ figures I️ was just being impatient but it’s starting to take a long time.compared to his other sheds.

I also think he looks much older than 4 months. They for shed as much when older, and when they do shed it's in chunks not the whole body at once. As long as he is eating, maintaining healthy weight, and his housing parameters are on point I wouldn't worry about it.
