when pyro first arrived i noticed he was starting a new shed, but he went back under.now he has been up eating, basking ect. for a lil over a week now. i have heard about red tegus and shedding problem, but since this is my first red maybe someone more experienced could give me some advice, his body is shedding well but there seems to be a band of unshed skin around the base of his tail and it looks pretty bad to me.this has me a lil worried, have tried raising the humidity and misting him more it still hasnt shed i am going to try a warm soak if he dosnt freak out on me again! what are your thoughts on ways to prevent this? btw he has both beef liver and cod liver oil in his diet! here are some pics:
i highlighted the problem spot in red
