Shedding

[NESIRSUSEJ]

I'm not so sure where this topic goes, so i'm sorry if I'm at the wrong place.

My gecko just finished shedding last night and usually she eats all the skin, but this morning I saw a part of skin not eaten so I was wondering, should I remove it or will she eat it some other time ?

Nothing to worry about, just toss the uneaten skin out. From my experience, they're not interested unless it straight off them.

Thanks. And just another quick question, when do they really start eating after shedding?

Shedding to Eating Correlation

It varies with every gecko but in my experience it relates to how long it took them to shed. My 46 g F Raptor will take 1-3 days to shed her skin and then about a 1-2 days to start really eating a lot again. So it'll probably be about half the time it took them to shed, but as stated before it might be longer or shorter, just really depends on your gecko and how comfortable it is.
