Just make sure that it has a humid spot to shed in and when its done shedding make sure their is no unshed skin on its eyelids or toes. My gecko lost all of his toes becuz his previous owner didnt know how to take care of him.

My only leo is named Maverick. I got him from sombody who didnt want him... he has lost almost every single toe because they didn't take care of him.

If you find any dry/dead skin left on your leo after shedding, you can give her a warm (90 degree f) soak for 15 minutes to help get that skin off. Good luck!
