Why to Check Sheds

[guidofatherof5]

This is the consequence of not check a shed. This female Northwestern (T.ordinoides) will now lose the tip of her tail because I didn't catch the retained shed.
It looks like it was the tip and maybe a scale or two more. I will check her over the next week or so but more then likely it will break off.
Not a serious situation but one that should have never occurred.
Shame on me.
