My newt is shedding a lot

[acdematos]

Hi everyone, I am fully aware it is normal for newts to shed and eat their skin afterwards, but my lady newt has been shedding an awful lot… she is growing fast as well so I was wondering if it is related… the water levels are correct… can anyone shine some light on this? do newts shed more often when growing? thank you!!:grin:

btw she is a Alpine newt and I know water temperature can cause stress but it is at a constant 15 C

Yes, they shed more often when growing faster. I wouldn't worry about it unless it's flaking off in small pieces.

Thank you Jennewt, that makes me a bit relieved
