he sheds very little these days and is looking a bit, well, lumpy.

(no its not pyramiding he's in a 130 gal tank and he is 3.5 inches long)

can someone give me some tips please.

thanks.

really there isnt much you can do. just make sure it has a good basking area with UVB and feed it foods high in vitamin e like apple skin and blueberry or steamed sweet potato. other than that its just a waiting game

[blulite]

ah vitamin e now i forgot about that. i had read the same thing before and completley forgot. i will go buy those fruits tomorrow and ofet a bit every couple of days. i just dont want him to get too many retentions.

i would cut it back even more. try about once a week

[blulite]

now though im going to bed
