skin?

[geckofreak570]

i went to petco today and i saw a really nice leo. it looked like an albino. him/her had shed on him/her nose and i was wondering if i put him/her in a moist hide will it come off? or is this a health issue.

That may do it. If not, you would need to try a Q-tip or something along those lines to help it. It isn't a health issue like I think you are refering to, but untreated it will cause problems.

 

[geckofreak570]

so you think it would be fine if i bought it and gave it a moist hide? and try the q-tip thing?

 

[KiKi]

yes we have done a few times it does work

 

[geckofreak570]

ok

I wouldn't buy it just to help it. Tell Petco (PETCRAP) that the leo needs a moist hide to aid in shedding. If they do nothing about it point out one of their care sheets, I'm pretty sure it on it. If they don't do anything then, tell them you'll call Animal Rights or something like that. If you buy it then PetCRAP knows they can continue to get away with treating animals poorly.

Sorry I'm rambling but if you are going to buy it because you like then fine but I wouldn't do it just to save it. Before you buy it check it out, look at the toes for unshed skin, if it's on the nose it's probably on the toes.

 

[geckofreak570]

no i checked the toes there's none at all.

 

[geckofreak570]

im going to tell the people that work there !!

you can try but they probably wont listen, petstores never do.
