[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 155586, member: 29302"] Hi again. Nope, I don't believe that the airholes are the primary cause, but it could cause an issue at some point down the line, so it's worth getting the cross ventilation right asap. So I'm with [USER=15599]@menavodi[/USER] on this. They do moult more slowly (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and have a more streamlined appearance than say, your terrestrial T's. Mind you, 2 months is a heck of a long time, but is it completely unusual? I'm not sure, I'm afraid. My only other thought, which is probably clutching at straws - if there a possibility that the prey is being discarded too early because the T is being disturbed in some way? If you think there may be a remote possibility of this, maybe worth adding a bit of extra cover so it can tuck itself away. Hopefully, you'll find that it has molted soon. I'm crossing my fingers for you. [/QUOTE]
