I have been having tail shed issues as well. She's a bout 3 months old. I supplement her diet with cod liver oil, and the tank humidity is kept high with moist moss substrate. Her entire body sheds beautifully in one piece, but the last three sheds it has stopped at her tail, and it takes the next 2 weeks to get all the rings off and I have to assist her with a toothbrush and tweezers.

She tends to not like fruits unless I thoroughly mix them into her meat mix. Should I be adding more fruit to her diet? Her staple is turkey with added calcium and anywhere from 1-3 tsp cod oil per pound, supplemented with dubias. Coconut oil and A&D ointment helps greatly, but I would prefer to not have to interfere in the first place.
