Shedding aid conditions your reptiles' skin and provides a visible sheen. Long lasting. Works between sheds. Review: It really works! - Wow this stuff works wonderfully! I am a new snake owner here, a few weeks ago I adopted my first baby corn snake. All was well, Nagini ate like a champ, had no problem coming to my and climbing on my hands, active, healthy, and I was so happy. Until, she went into her first shed with me a few days ago. Monday morning, she got her head and eyes off just fine, but that was it, I waited 24 hours in hopes she would finish her shed. From there, it was all coming off in bits and pieces, and I wasn't sure what to do. I tried bathing her, running her through damp towels in my hands, providing moist hides for her, and still only about a third of her body had shed, and it came off in maybe 15 pieces. I didn't want to stress here out anymore than I already had trying to help her along. So, I looked into a shedding aid, and this was seemingly the best one for the price I found, and I could have it in just a couple days with prime. Here we are Thursday, half of her body still hasn't shed, and I just received this in the mail an hour ago, I took her out and liberally sprayed the bottom half of her body and massaged it in a little bit, and put her back in her enclosure. NOT 15 MINUTES LATER the rest of her shed came off in one big piece, even the tail tip! My goodness, I am so happy I decided to purchase this, and I will continue using as a monthly treatment, even if her sheds improve I will continue to use this stuff as a preventative and to condition her. YAY! If you are hesitant about buying, let me tell you, this stuff is soooo worth it! I usually feed her Wednesdays, but I wanted to wait until she finished shedding. Here Thursday afternoon after she finished, I went ahead and fed her, and it was a successful feed. Review: Saved our gecko. And our auto insurance. - So we inherited a gecko from our son, who bought it then didn’t want to take care of it. We had no idea how to care for it and sadly, made his life miserable for awhile. We had nowhere near enough heat, moisture or hides. Having never owned a lizard of any kind, we thought his lethargic nature was normal. We also knew nothing about their shed. So imagine our surprise when suddenly our gecko starts turning grey and shedding. 5 weeks later he had still not sluffed off his shed and it was hard and crusted over. So we began to read and learn how to better care for him and realized that this is not normal. He was literally skin and bones, unable to eat or see because of the thickness of his shed. As we looked closer, it became apparent that he actually had multiple layers of shed that had never properly loosed. This issue was compounded by lack of moisture, lack of proper heat, lack of proper hide and overall nutrition and environment. We quickly fixed all of that and orders this product. It only took about 20 sprays of this miracle product to completely loosen and release almost 6 weld of shed. Sadly, he did lose a toe. Today our gecko is happy and active and curious and friendly. He still had difficulty shedding, but he is getting better at it. We use this sparingly to help him along and it does the trick in a few focused sprays. It does not irritate our geckos skin, face or eyes. He remains very calm and stress free if we have to administer any of this. We are very happy with it. I’m quite certain it saved our gecko from our lack of education on how to care for him. We will never be without it. ## Features - Aids in removing dry sheds from snakes and lizards - Conditions your reptile's skin and provides a visible sheen - Helps keep the skin moist and pliable - Long lasting formula works between sheds ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002DJ0B0 | | Active Ingredients | vitamin_e | | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Best Sellers Rank | #96,338 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #188 in Reptile & Amphibian Health Supplies | | Brand | Zoo Med | | Brand Name | Zoo Med | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,323 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00097612800319 | | Included Components | Zoo Med Repti Shedding Aid | | Item Dimensions | 5 x 2.8 x 1.5 inches | | Item Form | Stick | | Item Type Name | Zoo Med Repti Shedding Aid | | Item Volume | 64 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 5 x 2.8 x 1.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Zoo Med Laboratories | | Manufacturer Part Number | MD-31 | | Model Name | Zoo Med Repti Shedding Aid | | Model Number | MD31 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Made in America | | Special Feature | Made in America | | Specific Uses For Product | Indoor | | UPC | 097612800319 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Images ![Zoo Med Repti Shedding Aid - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gNrn-zQiS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you spray this on your reptile?** A: DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY ON YOUR REPTILE!! I never used any products until both or my boas had a bad shed one winter. My dwarf boa (Gracie) I HAD for only 4 years died within 5 days after using this product UNDILUTED! Yes their product is all natural, but after 24 hours both of them looked like their skin was wrinkled. Long story short, this spray should NEVER be sprayed directly on ANY reptile. I never asked the store manager how to use it and Zoomed after complaints from many others still will not change the (directions) on the label. Don't suffer the guilt as I do everyday, use hot water in a clean spray bottle 2-3 times a day on the enclosure walls and mist the snake. Gracie was 4yrs old, and Draven is 17 Red tail boa and doing fine. **Q: Hows this compared to Shed Ease? Im trying to make the best decision possible for my hatchling leopard geckos.** A: It’s much better than Shed Ease. I had to get it at the pet store when this was out of stock and noticed the difference right away. I use it on my Leos, but they’ve all been adults so I’d make sure it’s safe for hatchlings. **Q: What is/are the active ingredient(s)?** A: The complete list of ingredients: water, solubilizing hydrotope, glycerin, jojoba oil, and vitamin E acetate in an oil base. **Q: Can you use this on crested geckos?** A: Yes. I just spray some on my hands and let my geckos walk through my hands. It’s it’s stuck on there toes I spray it on their toes and rub a little and The shed come right off. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really works! *by S***H on April 17, 2015* Wow this stuff works wonderfully!
