How often do leopard geckos shed?

[Jim36]

Hello,

I've had my gecko for just over 2 weeks. I've heard that young gecko's shed quite often. I have a warm, humid and cool hide for him. How often do young gecko's shed?

Thanks!

Jim

Babies once a week.

Adults every 2-4 weeks.

It all depends.

Should I be concerned that he hasn't shed at all for over 2 weeks?

If he is eating, pooping regularly then no. He will shed when he is ready

 

[Jim36]

He's definitely eating and doing his business

Unless you're watching 24/7, you won't necessarily know if they've shed except for the color change. Leos don't leave shed skin lying around like snakes do.

Correct.

And to add, babies usually shed extremely fast. Chances are you possibly missed a shed.
