ok first, how long does a sheading take? can it be over night? cause i think my gecko shead cause i saw like almost a scaly whiteness in his poo, and his collor is now bright, but i havent seen him shead.

also can gecko's be over feed? my 2 geckos are eating like crazy, sometimes i even put in a few extra crickets after the first batch is done. And yes they eat them all , none are left over to stress them. Its just some nights they can eat like 15 crickets each.

A shed can be quick or slow.... My female looked a little milky one night, and the next morning she had shed and looked beautiful. You usually notice, though, unless you haven't seen your gecko in a day. Do the color look brighter?
I think your geckos should be fine food wise.... they know how much they need to eat.

Thanks for responding. Yes my smaller gecko looks alot brighter, she likes to hide alot in her cave so its kind of dark in there. but yes she looks alot brighter as i seen her just tonight while feeding. as for the eating part, i was thinking just what you answered, but just wanted to ask anyway to make sure.

But thanks again for the words =)

As far as feeding, it's rare a Leo will overeat. I don't know how big your Leos are versus the size of crickets, but I would guess you might need to get crickets that are a bit bigger. If the crickets are overly small for the size of the Leo then they will eat "tons" of them. A good rule of thumb is the cricket can be as long, as the Leos space between their eyes is wide
