Ok so we got this lil leo gecko from the pet store she was a lil under weight and missing toes from a bad shed when she was at the pet store. She was the last survivor from her cage mates. She has plumped up nicely and is doing awesome!! Anyways... My question is about her shedding. She just shed for the first time sincewe got her and I was wondering about geckos nature after they shed. She has finally used her humid hide and has been in there all day and night so far. Does it take a lot of "steam" out of them after they shed? Do they usually just take it easy afterwards? Still a lil worried about her so Im curious! Thanks to all that respond and sorry for the long post!

I think that usually when animals shed they tend to be a little irritable. At least my snake was. So maybe she is just trying to take a break. And if like you said she was a little underweight this may have been a little tougher for her then a full size healthy gecko. Good Luck with her. How is she doing now with eating and stuff???

Shes doing awesome. We have been feeding her lots of crickets and mealies and also wax worms and since we've had her you can tell just by sight that she has begun to plump up rather nicely! Shes doing good and we are both stoked to see her progress! Thanks a lot for the reply! Ill post some pics in a few days or so!
