Within an hour she relaxed: it wasn't some horrible white growth taking over his entire body... little Monk was moulting for the first time. Big curves of paper-white skin came off his body. I didn't get a chance to watch it happen (the whole thing was over before I got home that night), so i don't know if he just sat there and his old skin fell off of its own volition, or if he worked it off somehow.
Either way, in the morning he was a whole new lizard- bright green, slightly more obvious hints of his adult markings, and a whole new bigger, more grownup look. It's like he shed the toddler and revealed the little kid waiting inside.
Insert poignant talk about change and growth here.
But really, just check out the wicked photos.
