    Default Shedding Frequency?

    So I can't seem to find any reliable info on how often WTFs shed. Glurmo sheds like once a week and that seems like a lot. Are there things other than growth that can impact how often they shed? The humidity was pretty steady in the old terrarium (60% during the day 75% at night). It's been more erratic with the new terrarium but I put some plastic wrap on the screen today so I'm hoping that helps level it out. So I don't think that's an issue. He's healthy and eating well and pooping normally. Could he really be growing that much!?

    I don't think they shed only for growth reasons... its a cleansing. My greys shed at least once a week... likely more because I'm sure I don't catch it every time.

    My WTF sheds about once a week as well. Eats it as well.

    Well this makes me feel better. He definitely eats his skin when he's done with it too!

    And a slightly unrelated question: How fast do they grow after a certain size? He's just under 2 inches I would say, will he get bigger?

    La Frog (his name) has definitely grown over the past seven months that I had him. Maybe by half-inch or little less - not sure. He is perhaps about an inch tall, and maybe (when huddled) just under two inches long. See attached pic. He gets fat, and then contracts to a much smaller size. Quite interesting, actually.

    It's weird, sometimes Glurmo looks like he's getting a bit fat and then he will switch positions and look smaller. WTFs are such interesting little critters. I got a pretty cute picture of him last night. Although I took it with my phone so the quality isn't great. But now that I have a tank that opens from the front and a nice tripod I think I'll try to get some good pictures of him tonight Name:  299353_10151255203344740_1197326104_n.jpg
