I am a rather new parent of a juvenile leopard gecko. His name is Jak. I've had him now for about 3 weeks. He hasn't shed his skin yet, but his skin is getting lighter however, it's still close to it's original colors at the edges where the colors meet. So my first question is, about how long does it take a leopard gecko to shed? Secondly, i've read that shedding problems can cause, among other things, blindness. Jak has been squinting a lot as of late, usually one eye at a time, but more recently he's been squinting both. This has been going on for about a week, as well as the skin discoloration. He's eating fine and I have not noticed any problems in his feces. Is there anything wrong or that I should worry about. If so, what needs to be done to help him? (He has a humidified shelter, and, being in boston, it's rather humid naturally anyways) Or, am I just being a paranoid new parent? Any insight or help is greatly appreciated by myself and Jak. Thanks
