Gecko's skin is lightening

[sushikam]

This is my first leo and I wasn't sure if the reason his skin has gotten nearly white is because he is about to shed or if it's a health concern. He's only a baby, and I just got him this past Monday. Can anyone help me calm down a bit about this? I'm just concerned that there is possibly something wrong with him.

Thank you,

Provide it with a humid hide and it'll shed soon.

Yea, that means they are about to shed. Don't worry, they will be back to normal soon.

Sounds like he's getting ready to shed! Like the others said, just make sure he has a little humid hide area and - at least with my limited experience - shedding just takes hours. Or less. I saw my little baby getting ready to shed and hanging out in his humid hide...and a couple hours later I look in on him and he's already done!
