    Leopard gecko ?'s

    My gecko just went through a shed...and seemed to be having a hard time of it. (removing the old skin) I susupected that it was because she was too cold. I warmed the cage up and she was doing a lot better, I also raised the humidity. Is there anything else I should do?
    Thanx all

    I would say you should take her to the vet - one of my female geckos is also having some issues with her shed and I read that means they're ill.

    I'm going to take her to the vet as soon as it's warm enough for me to take her outside.

    A ten minute soak in 1/2" of lukewarm water can work miracles. Be very careful not to allow any shed to remain stuck to her toes, as it can cut off her circulation and the toes can drop off.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I looked this morning in on her and she seems to have shed all of her skin, even on the toes. She was eating last night too...I suppose that's a good sign. Should I still try to keep the humidity up now that she is done shedding?
    Thanx for the advice too, guys!
