Throughout their lives, Leopard Geckos patterns will change... so far in almost two months, my first has made lots of changes. Here is the new born picture along with the current picture.

they hatched on june 18th, and today is the 23rd. there is no signs of shedding yet... its been 5 days now. should i be worried? i hear they dont eat until there first shed? this is a long time not to eat?

Shedding can happen very quickly overnight. I've had a few hatchlings do that. One sign to look for is the first poop. Once you see a poop, they'll be ready to munch on some food.

on almost all my hatchling leos, i have had them eat within the second day! i think mine are just weird but i would say normally they shed within 3 days of hatching and are ready to eat by the 4th day. i almost never see mine shed.
