When a lizard is shedding its skin, there are a few signs you can look for:
-
Dull or cloudy appearance: Before shedding, a lizard's skin may appear dull or cloudy as the new skin starts to develop underneath.
-
Changes in color: The lizard's skin may appear lighter or darker in certain areas as it prepares to shed.
-
Increased scratching or rubbing: A lizard may scratch against rough surfaces or rub its body against objects to help slough off the old skin.
-
Flakes or pieces of old skin: You may notice small pieces of old skin flaking off the lizard's body.
-
Increased hiding behavior: Some lizards may become more reclusive or seek out hiding spots as they shed their skin.
These signs can indicate that a lizard is in the process of shedding its skin.
