I've been waiting all day for Squeezy to do the same.

I love to watch them, but I always feel a vague temptation to 'help'...... I think he's going to look gorgeous when he's out of it.
Hopefully my female pickeringii will slough in the next couple of days, then I can try for a decent photo and resume the 'feeding-up' regime.

I always manage to interrupt the process, by assaulting the poor thing with my camera. But I still need more photos of shedding in progress.

I considered doing that to the concinnus tonight, but he's still in a plastic tank so I can't get a decent shot without lifting him out. I don't really want to do that while he's sloughing.

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

hey - can you believe it?
I almost got arrested today by a transit police officer, because the other adult and I decided to push the four kids through on one swipe and us adults on the second.
Two adults in one swipe is not legal, even if the kids are legally all free.
My logic was that there were two adults and we swiped two cards, but she wasn't into logic - very narrow point of view.
She made us go through this whole interrogation about our information and criminal history (none - I've always been a firm believer in keeping a low profile)
I was furious.
The older kids were all crying and at one point a perfect stranger stepped in with a comment that was met with an icy "Sir, you're interfering with a police intervention"
I do think it was him that turned the tide for us.
I think he must have stayed around, because shortly after she decided to let us go

Rhea, that's insane!!!! Perfect example of a little person with a little badge! Thinking they're protecting the USA by arresting you for thinking outside the box... sorry the kids were so stressed. :-(

Needless power-tripping!
Poor kids, that's extremely scary for young people to see.

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

oh this is not even the end
I posted this story on my neighbourhood list serve and some guy berated me for being angry at a police officer and called me irresponsible for letting the kids go through the turnstile ahead of us.
maybe he's right and I really am a no-good law-breaker with no respect for authority and an irresponsible mother to boot
okay - I'll cop to the no respect for authority part
