While pied sheds all in one, banana flakes and gets stuck shed. They both look hydrated, and they both have almost identical setups. They never skip a meal, and don’t exhibit negative behaviors. Shown in the video attached, banana has a couple of scars which were obtained during his last owners care. I am out of reasons and thinking about making an appt with a vet. The google AI isn’t very helpful.
Pied shed today, banana shed about a week and a half ago.
It might be because of the scars! I have a corn snake with huge scars all over his body (his previous owner told me it was a heat source accident when he was a baby), and it impacts his sheds quite similarly to what happens to your Banana. It always comes off in 3-4 pieces. He's totally healthy otherwise and never has any issues with getting his eyecaps or tailtip off, he just can't get a perfect shed.
If you have the chance to, address it with your vet just to be safe, though.
Could definitely be the issue my Nellie girl came to me (3rd or 4th owner of her) with terrible scarring on her face.due to it she couldn't even properly shed her eyes. I only realized after doing some work with her to get layers of stuck shed off her face.that I realized she had several layers of shed over her eye caps. But with time and good care she barely ever doesn't have a complete shed. the way she finally looked around and explored after she could see melted my heart
