My uro which I have had for a few years has only molted/shed his skin about three times that I can recall. Does that sound normal? I am asking because the last couple days he is dull in color and a bit sluggish which makes me think a molt is coming soon.
Hi, I dont think it's unusual for uro's to shed infrequently, from what I can gather once or twice a year more normal, this does not mean to say your's has a problem. I know you are not a "newcomer" to uro's so would assume your husbandry is good and everything is up to standard It's possible he is going into shed, it's springtime and would think it's normal, as you know they can take a long time to shed, so this would be a good time to start. My Egyptian is on his 3rd shed in 12 months but he has grown from 5 to 11" in that time so skin is too small for him, I expect him to slow down as he gets older. I dont think you have anything to worry about, guess he likes the skin he has
Well in the other thread someone had mentioned they fed their uro a cup of food a day. I thought I would try and sure enough he eats all of that. I had been feeding mine about two tablespoons full of torn up greens the whole time. Last few weeks it's been a cup at least and it really seems to have filled him out.
Ooops sorry missed this post. I would give him a cup then add more till you find out what his daily intake is then stick with that. Mine's 11" long and is about 12 months old and eating 250 grams a week that 1/2lb of veggies.
