Shedding! 
A few to six days ago Stars tail had a shed. Two days later Destinys tail had a shed, and a day after that, she had a complete body shed. Star has yet to shed and I’m wondering why. It’s been quite a few days since her tail had a shed and her body hasn’t. Could it be because her tail is storing fat reserves so it’s getting bigger? Star has also hardly grown since I first got her, she was juvenile and so was Destiny. Destiny is almost the size of an adult. I make sure Star eats just as well as the others but yet there’s no growing going on.
Is there a way that I could help her shedding? I mist them all everyday some so that they get hydrated a bit and cool off in this boiling rental, but that doesn’t even seem to help Stars shed. Her skin looks dead and very dry, it also looks like it wants to come off. I’m just wondering why it hasn’t when her tail already has shed days ago...

I woke up this morning, to seeing skin all over the tank. Ahhhhhhh she finally shed! Usually lizards shed from head to tail, now why two of mine are backwards, I have no idea!

My female swift Ginny’s shed ’tail first’ all four times she has shed since I’ve had her. She normally sheds off the tail two to three weeks before the rest comes off. During this time the tail has some will have some deep orange/red coloration in it while the rest of her body doesn’t at all. I haven’t had a bunch of other lizards, so I didn’t think anything about the shedding pattern. As far as I can tell she’s growing quickly or normally though. When the rest gets ready, most of the time it sheds in one day, except one time her face took an extra day.
