I've got one 2010 baby that has had lots of issues shedding. It missed a shed or two and visually I could see its skin getting worse. More like it had to shed and just decided it didn't want to. So I put it in a "shed box" (deli cup with good sized rough rocks and lots of moisture) and it shed right away. Next month, same thing. It shed in less than a few hours of being put there. Since then it has shed perfect for me. You might try that out and see if you change its mind.

Thanks! Actually...both babies have had shed boxes all along...and 'rough stuff'. It's been weird.

YAY...Cassandra FINALLY shed and it was a perfect one, too! Her shed looks like an empty snake, head, jaw and all (pix coming today). Her last was in December 2010.

I really think the reason that both my babies skipped FOUR months was because of the ambient air temps of Winter. The room they're in stayed around 60F...that's all I can figure.

Thanks everyone that replied in here...hopefully more people will be helped/comforted if they have the same issue.
