Do Geckos shed their skin?
Yes, geckos eat their skin. But first, their skin will get all white as they prepare to shed it off. Eventually, after about a week since their skin started getting white, the gecko will start to chew their skin off, revealing a beautiful new layer of colourful skin. The reason that geckos eat their shedded skin instead of just leaving it like snakes do is because their skin has calcium in it and it is healthy for them. While the gecko is young and still growing, it will shed about once a month, when the gecko becomes full size, it will on shed about 2-5 times a year.

Most geckos will rub up against accessories in order to assist with the shedding process. Other geckos may dig to find a moist spot. During this period, they tend to be a little more agitated and do not enjoy being touched.
Do leopard gecko's need humiditye?
yes. geckos shed their skin a couple times a month and eat it. they need to have a hide with either moss (pet store) or a simple paper towel ( i use ) and mist it a couple times a day with warm water. this will help them shed! side note - let your gecko shed its own skin. if it looks like it is having trouble start it for him and then at the end sometimes geckos need help sometimes getting it off their toes. what i do is - soak the geckos foot (feet) in water for a minute then gently remove the dead skin by rubbing it off. if it doesnt come off easy then soak the foot (feet) for longer.
