Not eating shed?

[myjoyoverflows]

One of our geckos won't eat her shed....she's shedding fine, but just won't eat it...is this cause for concern?

It doesn't mean your gecko is unhealthy. Sometimes my Leos don't eat the whole thing.

She's shed several times with us and hasn't eaten it any of the times...so I just wasn't sure how important it was for her to eat it or not....

Thanks for making me feel better!

Herman ate only two crickets last night, and now he looks white. He's chasing down cricket #3 for the night, so I guess he's fine.

Ya, its completely fine. There are a lot of generalizations for Leopard Gecko behaviors, and this is one of them...Most of them do it, but not all of them have to
Mine will eat about 75%, usually doesn't eat the legs and tail
