My Annie started her first shed (since she's been with me) at the weekend. Wasn't all in one piece - very bitty in fact with a little more scattered about the viv each morning.
It's mostly off now with just a few bits I think - a little difficult to say for sure as she's being quite unsociable during the day hiding away in her log.
However earlier this evening I thought I spotted what appeared to be some strange looking skin on her side. For want of a better description it looked a bit mouldy. This was next to a bit of shed that hasn't yet come off.
I wanted to get a picture to post on here but she changed position by the time I had opened up the viv and got my camera.
Could this be something to worry about or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me through the glass and down a log ? Is it just another bit of skin that hasn't come away yet ?

cant really say without pics but im guessing its just a bit of shed.
put her in a warm bath for 10 mins or so then you can gently roll off any bits that are left or put her in a damp pillow case for 10 mins after the bath the damp an friction when they move helps get the shed off
