Stuck shed

[EmilyAllen]

Can someone tell me a little bit about stuck shed? My Gecko who was recently sick and is on antibiotics was starting to shed on saturday the 12th, but since then it is not really coming off and now she cant open her eyes. I will probably call my vet later today but thought i would get some advice on here first..

do you have a moist hide in with your leo?

I agree... a humid hide will help with shed issues. For now, take a wet Q-tip and very gently wipe the gecko's eyes in a rolling motion. If you can get a small piece of the stuck skin away from the eye, carefully remove it with your fingers.

You can also soak your gecko in about 1/2" of warm water in a covered container (air hole, of course!) for 10-15 minutes a couple of times a day or until you can manually remove the skin.

Please follow-up with your vet!
