Shedding Problems Please Help!!!

[2bacop]

So I just got my gecko a week and a half ago and when I woke up this morning she was shedding. She was having trouble with her head, tail and toes so I helped her and now shes fine. She just has some skin left right on top of his eyes and when I tried to get it off but when I did she seem to act like it hurt her so I stopped. Will she be able to get it off or do I need to help her? Is she just acting like it hurts? This is my first gecko so I have no idea!

Does she have a moist hide to help her?

Just keep an eye on her, if by this evening she does not have it off, you can take a damp q-tip to the stuck shed, and gently try to roll the skin off.

yes she does have a moist hide in her cage but she seemed to like sitting in te water dish better. I mist it every hour if not more so it is moist she went in or a little bit and I left her alone but she crawled out I dont think she liked it. I misted her as well to see if that would help and I have left her alone hoping that maybe she will take it off but I will check back this evening and try and help her if she still needs it.

I've never had a leo that sits in its' water dish, so that seems unusual to me. It could indicate that the cage is too hot. What are your temps?

90 on the warm side and 75 in the cool

it doesnt do it all the time just that time when it was shedding
