Generally, a few weeks to 4 months.

Productive? Where's the poop? Isn't there supposed to be poop?
Now THIS was a productive bath!
No wonder they've got such big shells—it's all COLON in there!

This is her 'after brumating' poo. It was so big I had to take a picture to show my husband.
I can only imagine she feels 1000x better. (Her poo is bigger than she is, it seems like!)

They can store it up, can't they?This is her 'after brumating' poo. It was so big I had to take a picture to show my husband.
That's what I thought about Mitch. One end was actually wider than the distance between his eyes!
Stinkeye's have gotten smaller since I cut back his bugs, but now he seems to save it for the baths. I wish he'd go back to doing it on the PT; it's actually easier cleaning.

Since it was later in the afternoon, I only gave him a few hornworms. It almost looked like he didn’t know what to do with them at first. He’ll get a nice salad tomorrow morning with some fat juicy superworms (his favorite).
I think I irritated him with my fawning over him.

That was us last year! We've already discussed it, and whatever we did this year, we're doing again next year .... as soon as we figure out what it was! 
Love the gif.

Any suggestions for stubbornly stuck shed?
He's been sporting some of these patches (crown, upper back, left side, thighs) since before the holidays. Meanwhile his face has shed a couple of times (working on #3)
Every time I think he's going to peel, they re-moisturize (or something) and disappear for a day, then they're back.

I use a soft children’s toothbrush gently on Spike when I have him in the bath.

Thx. Been doing that—so far all it's done is annoy him, and he gets annoyed enough when I rinse him off under the faucet after the bath.

I think Arcadia has shed support supplements if you wanna give those a try. I know it takes forever and a day for Spike’s shed to detach. I think it was about 3 months for him to shed his tail.

Thanks—that's actually encouraging.
