Shedding problem

[Gandhi]

I have huge problem with my female red tegu. She hasn't shed in over 2 months. Her scales are starting to look "old". It's hard to explain, so here a pictures:







Temp: 40-45 C
Humidity: 70-90%

What can i do to help her shed?

My lad never had major shedding issues but a couple of things you can certainly try are getting fish oils into her diet or use a specially formulated shedding aid... Look online for "shed'aid'

Give her fruit in her diet. They say if you don't give reds fruits they will have shedding problems.

Rubbing her down with some body butter might help?

Rubbing her with oil once and giving her baths everyday helped.

Food grade mineral oil in a warm bath. You can also go to the drug store and get it as an intestinal stimulant. It has vitamin E added as a stabilizer, but that won"t hurt the tegu. Worst that can happen is that it ingests a little and takes a mega crap. I strongly suggest taking a few swigs of it yourself to make sure it is safe for your tegu.
