Definition : Ecdysis: the process of shedding the dead outer skin in reptiles. Dysecdysis: abnormal shedding of the dead outer skin in reptiles. Cause: dehydration, skin infection, skin wounds, burns, scars, ectoparasitism, poor or unbalanced diet, suboptimal husbandry, suboptimal environmental temperatures, stress, metabolic issues.
Ecdysis is the moulting of the cuticle in many invertebrates of the clade Ecdysozoa. Since the cuticle of these animals typically forms a largely inelastic exoskeleton , it is shed during growth and a new, larger covering is formed. [1]
All reptiles shed their skins, referred to as ecdysis, in a manner that differs from species to species. Snakes shed or "slough" their skins in one piece, including eye caps, as opposed to lizards who look like they are recovering from a bad case of sunburn during a shed.

A recent retrospective study of dermatologic lesions in reptiles found that from 29% to 64% (dependent on institution and reptile group) of the cases had underlying husbandry-related deficiencies. 1.

2 de ago. de 2023 · Ecdysis, the shedding of the epidermis in a discrete event to accommodate skin renewal and growth (Tu et al., 2002 ), is a characteristic typical of snakes (Lillywhite & Coleman, 2016; Lillywhite & Maderson, 1982 ).
29 de out. de 2023 · The shedding of skin, or ecdysis, is a natural and essential process for reptiles. There are several reasons why reptiles engage in this behavior: 1. Growth.
