Dear all,

I have posted some pictures of my A. Andersoni morph, who has been developed patches of peeling skin. The skin in these patches appears pinkish. Is he sick, or is this just some form of normal skin shedding?

Note especially the large patch on his haunches and the smaller, newer patches on his cheeks.

Thanks.

When my A.andersoni left the water her shedding was very noticeable, I didn't even realize that they did it lol, I had to seek advice from other people. What does appear unusual is the reddening below the shed skin, I did not encounter that at any point and dont think it is part of a natural shed. Hopefully some one with more experience of morphs can help you.
