shedding issue for T Gran.

[jendog35]

I have noticed for a week now, my Taricha G hasn't fully shedded her skin. It looks like she partially shedded but somehow it hasn't fully been rid of and is stuck to her. Any ideas?

Is the newt aquatic or terrestrial? Is the skin in one piece, or coming off in flakes?

It is possible to assist them with getting the shed skin off, but there's a significant risk of doing more harm than good.

she is terrestrial and shedding - or trying to shed in one piece.

My terrestrial one sheds in pieces too. I've tried keeping the tank more moist, and giving her a large water dish (which she uses occasionally), but she still has issues shedding. My aquatics never had a problem.

my aquatic one shed fine also. Does your terrestrial bury herself? Her skin is still kinda stuck around her upper body. I tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't. She hasn't eaten in a few days also.
