Leopard geckos may face issues when shedding their skin such as retained shed, stuck shed on toes or tail, and difficulty shedding due to low humidity. To address these problems, provide a moist hide for increased humidity, gently soak the gecko in warm water to help remove stuck shed, and ensure proper shedding by maintaining a humid environment and providing a rough surface for rubbing. Regular monitoring and proper care can help prevent these issues during shedding.
Common leopard gecko shedding problems include retained shed skin, incomplete shedding, and difficulty shedding due to dehydration. To address these issues effectively, provide a humid hide for the gecko to aid in shedding, ensure proper hydration by misting the enclosure regularly, and gently assist in removing any retained shed skin if necessary. Regularly monitoring the gecko's shedding process and environment can help prevent these problems.
