dumb question

df92484 Mar 17, 2008 12:40 AM

This might be a dumb question but is it possible for the gecko's claws to become overgrown? one of my females is having difficulty sticking to surfaces. I have inspected the toe pads and she is shedding regularly. up until today she has been fine in every way. she still appears to be in good health so I have placed some rough surfaces for her to dig her claws into (a sandblasted grapevine). until now she has only had a bunch of artificial plants and a hide house for cover. The other female seems to be doing fine in the tank with her but both of their claws are very sharp. any thoughts on this would be helpfull thanks.

she is probably getting ready to shed soon and should be back to normal within a day or two. their claws don't get overgrown.
