  1. This could be caused from not having something called a humid hide, humid hides provide the gecko with a humid and moist place to aid the gecko in shedding, you could buy one at a pet store, or make it urself by getting a small tupperwear tub ( with lid),and cut a hole in the side and put some paper towels inside, and spray it every 2-3 days, make sure its not to wet, you just want a nice and damp-moist hide, not drenched.

    hope I helped =D


  2. it will shed on out

  3. This is caused by too low humidity.  Do you have a humid hide in his tank?  They must have this to avoid serious shedding problems.  A simple way to make one is to cut a hole in the side (toward the bottom) of an empty margarine container.  Line is with a couple of folded paper towels and mist well.  You want it nice and moist, but not dripping wet.  Place it on the warm side of the tank.  Keep this available at all times...he'll spend a lot of time in it and it will prevent shedding problems.
