Leo helping another shed?

Today I saw my normal leo 'biting' my blizzard. When I looked closer I realized the normal was actually helping the blizzard shed it's skin! Has anyone else seen this before?

Oddly enuff I have seen this several times with my females but never with the fellas. The first time I saw it I thought it may have been one of them vying for dominance.

Hi

Yes, I did observe one of my leo try to help another once and she didn't like that and let the other one know, I don't need your help.

It could have been helping just to help, but geckos also get nutrients from eating there own skin and maybe the other gecko could also have been helping for that reason.

Keep a cap of straight calcium in the tank with your geckos all the time, if you don't already.

sincerely, TLB
