If they shed successfully without any problems, you probably will never know it happened. Especially since they eat their shed immediately. Perhaps the only way you'll know they shed is if they have difficulties.

I notice their colour becomes very dull just before they shed. I have witnessed a few of mine shed before. It is pretty cool, as they walk you can see the dead skin start to slough away from the body. Once the dead skin tears the gecko starts biting and pulling at it and then eats it. If they do have difficulty shedding, you will usually notice it on the feet. This is my personal experience anyway. Good Luck
