It could be that if your gecko has just shed it's skin, it's toes nead a soak in water in order to soften the dried skin around the toes. Geckos shed and eat the skin for nutrients, and can normally do a good job of getting the skin off themselves, but toes are tricky and without a helping hand of a soak, the skin can cut off the circulation to the toes and the tips will eventually drop off, resulting in them not being able to cling as well.
When you spot your gecko looking a like he/she has a white film, then they are going to shed most likely the same day, so for the next couple of days keep an aye out and once the shed is finished, help with the toes. it can also help to spray the tank with a mist of water to keep humidity up to help wit the overall shed.

∙ 12y agoIt could mean that the skin from a prior molt has cut off the circulation in the fingers and they are dead now. You need to keep a wet mossy place in the setup so the gecko can go there to soak up moisture so it can shed it's skin properly. It may be too late for your little guy.

Snow Leopard does not mean anything. The Snow part of the name just means snow, and the Leopard part of the name means leopard. The difference between a regular Leopard and a Snow Leopard is that the Snow Leopard is white with black spots.
What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?
Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!
Why are geckos tails fat?
Leopard geckos have fat tails because in the wild they may not eat for days and days. Whenever you feed you leopard gecko a samll portion of there meal goes to there tail. This is stored up nutrients for days when they may not eat. THis way a gecko can live from the nutrients in there tail. This does not mean you should stop feeding you gecko for days on end. Baby and juvenille geckos should be fed every day. However an adult gecko i find is perfectly comfortable eating a large meal every other day. ANd when i say large i mean 5 large crickets. My geckos are perfectly healthy and happy on this diet.
