Washing Cresties

WiG Sep 25, 2004 11:48 PM

Does anybody wash their juvie cresties. When i try to "force" feed them babyfood and they jump into it i always wash it off them in case it dries and causes shedding probs (one of mine had already lost three and a half fingers on one of its front hands when i got it from a bad shed). Can they swim?

I dont think they like baths very much. I mist my babies & juvies every evening and have never had a shedding problem.
I would recommend that you up the humidity and aviod soaking.
If you still see shedding problems, place the gecko in a dish/tupperware lined with a moist paper towel for an hour or two.
