Re: Phantom shed???
I don't know if it depends on the species or the individual, but some of my Garters remain dull until they slough, while others 'clear' completely before they lose the old skin. I must take note of which ones do what.

Re: Phantom shed???
my garters get dull and rough before a shed but my corn gets shiny and smooth. Guess it must be a species thing.

Re: Phantom shed???
Mordecai's eyes clear up before the shed, but his body stays dull looking. Miriam's eyes clear, and then she seems to get brighter before she sheds. It's confused me a few times, but now I think that's just her thing...

Re: Phantom shed???
Deejay is apparently on a major growth spurt right now -- she's gone blue again, and she just shed less than a month ago!! I was just getting used to her nice bright colours, and she's gonna go and change again.........
