How Do Bosc Monitors Shed? - Reptilian Wonders

How Do Bosc Monitors Shed? In this informative video, we discuss the fascinating process of how Bosc monitors shed their skin. Unlike some reptiles that shed all at once, Bosc monitors gradually lose their skin over several days to a few weeks. This unique shedding method involves loosening and flaking off old skin in patches, which is a natural occurrence for many monitor lizards. During this time, you may observe changes in your Bosc monitor’s behavior, such as reduced activity and decreased appetite. They often seek out hiding spots as they navigate this natural process. To assist with shedding, these lizards rub against rough surfaces or objects in their enclosure, which aids in removing the old skin. Creating a suitable environment plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth shedding process. Maintaining proper humidity levels is essential, as it helps soften the skin and prevents any retained shed that could lead to health complications. Additionally, providing adequate basking heat and ultraviolet B lighting is important for skin renewal. If you are caring for a Bosc monitor, consider lightly misting the enclosure once or twice a day during shedding to maintain humidity. This practice, combined with rough surfaces for rubbing, supports healthy shedding.
