Looks as though it's getting ready to shed. Leathers do this from time to time, fear not

Thats a bit of a relief i was getting worried about losing it as i couldnt work out what was wrong.
How long does the process take then?? as its not going into its 3rd day. |

my one has shed 3 times, its been i think 9 months of owning it... Takes around 3-4 days for mine to get back to normal. Trust me, the first shed was right after i got it and even though i knew they shed i was extremely scared....

Yea i was realy worried 2 when i saw it as its such a nice coral last thing ide want is for it to die on me.
ive had it around 4 or 5 months now i think so i guess its in need of it. I guess its just a case of its skin goes all crusty then just comes off and it opens up again?? |

Does this happen to all leathers as I have a good sized devils finger leather that shriveled up about 4 days ago for no aparent reason. Everything else in the tank is fine. There is no sign of any problem with it its just shrunk back .
