How do you get the skin off leopard geckos feet?

Answer 1

Hi! I love reptiles and I own a leopard gecko and have the same problam what I do is soak my leopard geckos feet in warm water for 5 min. then it comes right off. make sure you watch your gecko when your soaking it and don't put more than a inch of water in the container.

Answer 2

it will do that on its own by scrachting it with its back pawif that does not come off in a week put it in a small container with a slitly damp paper towel and leave it in there for a hour then really really carefully peel it off

Answer 3

It's best to give the animal a sauna. Cut holes in a shoe sized tupperwear container and fill it with papertowel. Spray the papertowel till damp and allow the geckos feet to rest on the bottom of the container. Allow the animals feet to soak for 10-15 minutes and use a cotton swab or cue-tip.

Answer 4

Put your gecko in a tupperwear container with a 1-5 part sugar and water mix. Damped the papertowel with this solution and allow the animal to rest on it for 10-15 mins. Once soaked for a short period, the animals eye lids can be swabbed with a cue tip or cotton ball extremely gently.

Answer 5

It is not good to forcefully remove the extra skin left behind from a shed. This usually happens when the gecko does not have an area in the tank that is moist in comparison to the rest of the tank. This is called a humid hide and every leopard gecko should have one in their terrarium. The safest way to remove the skin from a leopard gecko is to find an appropriately sized deli cup and put paper towel in it. make sure there are holes in the container for the animal to breathe. Moisten the paper towels with a mister or soak them and wring them out until damp and not dripping. Allow the gecko to sit in the container for up to 20 minutes. After soaking, use a cotton swab or cue-tip to hopefully rub off the dead skin.
