so i have got two leopard geckos in the same 40 gallon tank a one has been acting weird lately. She has had trouble sheding (has happend before) but this time there is a lot more (almost none is taken off). i tried my best to get some off and i still am every time i give her a bath a little more comes off. Now heres the issue. One i think shes being bullied by the other female as she stays in one hut. Two she has been less active lately i mean she usually sleeps a lot but now when i pick her up she doesnt even fully open her eyes (if your suspecting impaction she hasnt eaten a lot and she has a redder area on her underbelly near her front legs but i dont know if thats bad). please help.

Welcome to GF. Does she have a humid hide? Do you know the floor temperature in the hut where she stays? If you think she's being bullied the first thing to do is to separate her and see if she does better.

i have temporarily separated them (i put a plastic tub to cut the tank in two) now spots (the one without problems) only goes tp the other side of the tank to poo. She does have a humid hide but it dries out within 2-3 hours and since i have school its dry for most of the day ( i spray the tank a lot when they're near shed). The temperature in my house has been colder than usual as the weather has been cold lately but when i pick her up shes nice and warm. I really just worried about the shed and the lack of activity.
