Because the skin contains some of the vitamins and minerals the gecko used from its diet to create the skin in the first place. Forming the new skin (underneath the old) uses valuable resources - eating the old skin helps replenish these minerals and gives the gecko some nourishment to sustain it until it finds a meal.
