Reptile & Amphibian Forums

But first I want to say thanks for your help on my previous question. I have a couple more. Also, please understand I had planned on doing more research before getting a gecko but these two needed out of the situation they were in. I asked under another topic but did not get an answer. They are doing better now and I think they are both pooping ok. Hard to tell though because I had to move them back in together as one of my heaters gave up the ghost. Anyway my questions are; Mr Dude looks like he is going to shed, but he supposedly shed right before I got him. I picked them up Aug 17th. is it nornal to shed so often? He is two. Also Miz Liz eats way more then he does so I worry if he gets enough. Will his regrown tail get skinny if he's not eating enough like a normal tail does? Anyway thanks for helping out.

Some geckos will shed alot after being feed regulary mine actully shed on average once a month except after re-heating them after a cool down period then for about 6 weeks they shed almost every other week. Your males re grown tail will become skinny if he's not getting enough food, but by the shed time I'd say he's just full. hoe this helps.

Thanks crimson ( may I call you that?) He is definatly shedding. I checked on him this evening and you can see where the skin is coming loose so I expect when I get home from work in the morning I will have a shiny new (and full) Mr Dude. They do eat the skin right? Geese I feel really stupid, but am learning fast!
