Hey Everyone! Havent been on in a while...but I have yet another question about my AFT Corwin. I have had her since Christmas now, and she is still being hand fed. We have kind of weened her off of jumpstart onto the cricket/electrolyte mix suggested before. She actaully likes this mix and (this was a huge step) in the middle of feeding suddenly got into this strange body position and opened her mouth real wide for a cricket! (at least thats what i think she wanted!) so we got a freeze dried cricket that we had been using for the mix and she chomped right down on it!...and spit it out!!! so now the question is..how to keep the crickets down. I am going to try live crickets in a couple of days again because right now..she is shedding AGAIN and seems very uninterested in food. Now how often should she be shedding? She shed for the first time about a month and a half ago...just a little...then a few weeks later turned completly white and shed fully. Now she is shedding just a little again. Is this normal?? Thanks!!

keep up the good work and keep offering live food items. it's hard to say how often any one gecko should shed. many factors come into play like age, growth rate, food intake, etc.. i find my young fast growing ones shed every couple weeks \- some. don't think you have any probs there, shedding more often could be a sign its growing some and putting on some weight.
