Hello,

I have a male paddle tail newt who i have had for nearly four years.
It was usually a rare sight to see him shed his skin but i have noticed it happen about three times in the past three weeks. Is this normal? Its always coming off in one and he eats it after- it's never flakey, theres no signs of fungus or mites.
The only thing I can think would cause a change was that he managed to get out of the tank during the day a few weeks ago and when I found him he was quite dry. He has perked up since and is behaving "normally" and is eating fine.
 
Well, he seems fine to me. But how old is he? He might just be growing really fast.
