Observe the process
Note changes in appearance and behavior alongside your usual care records. Species differ, so compare with the correct guide.
Check the environment
Record current conditions and any recent changes. Share concerns with your reptile veterinarian rather than attempting to pull away skin.
Follow up on concerns
Photograph any area that concerns you and contact a reptile clinic for advice on next steps.
