Hi i need some advice please, my baby Leo has shed its skin and has some left on its rear toes on one leg. I left it for few days and was stil the same so in a bowl with warm water for 15mins tried pick it off but went biserk when i tried. Im giving him daily warm baths which he seems to enjoy but still no sign of it coming off.
Also how often will he shed as it been 2 weeks since shedding and he looks dull and white again. Hes currently 18 weeks old.


Thanks

They sometimes do that when you help them shed, it is normal. I actually had to pull some off my geckos face last night but she was suprisingly tolerant. All you can do is continue to moisten it. If you can, use a wet q-tip to rub the area gently and see if that provides some help. If he is looking dull then he might be getting ready to shed again, just make sure that his moist hide is always wet and watch the toe for infections.

Just need to keep trying your best to peel it off because they loose their toes so fast as hatchlings due to constriction of old skin. its for the best.
