I have had my gecko since March 2010. He did great up until a few months ago when I noticed he wasn't getting his skin off anymore. When he had dead skin on him, he wouldn't move to eat. So I have been "helping" him shed by using a warm wash cloth. I notice that he won't eat the skin that I peel off. He has also lost a lot of weight. I do not have a reptile vet near me so that is not an option. I have read through these forums and I know one thing I must correct immediately, I have a screen lid with a heating lamp sitting to one side and UVB lamp across the back so no humidity staying in the tank. Also, will someone explain this moist hide to me. I am not familiar with that. Please offer any advice to help my Bob, the whole family loves him. He is very friendly and likes to be held.
Thanks for any help.
