How can i make my Leopard gecko shed his skin more easily?

Question

My adult male leopard gecko has a hard time shedding his skin aroun his head and feet.

How can i help him shed better?

Answer 1

often, they have problems shedding because they are too thin, or because of a lack of humidity. it always happens to mine in the summer, or when a female is pregnant.

I just put them in lukewarm water for around  10 minutes.

they have to be able to stand in it, so only use 1-2 cm of water

Answer 2

can't

Answer 3

Put some damp spag moss in a cricket tub with a hole in one end of it.

Spray it with water with a mister daily that you get for plants that hasn't had chemicals in it

Answer 4

Do you have a humid hide in your gecko's tank? If not then cut a hole in the side of an empty, clean Cool Whip container (or any plastic container that's the right size). Put moss or paper towels in the bottom, and spray it about once a day. You can also buy a product at most pet stores called "Shed Ease" to help the skin come off more easily.

Answer 5

they have a great product out that you can buy at most pet stores now called "Shed Ease"  it comes in a little blue bottle with a lizard right on the front.  Just spray him down in the tough spots and it should help.  At least it does with all six of my lizards.  Don't listen to the first guy there actually is alot of stuff you can do to help him shed it.  Aside from that maricle formula maybe try soaking him in water like giving him a bath.  I do this all the time with all of my lizards, the skin gets softer and is easier to peel of.  Don't pull to hard on the skin though it could make them sore and moody.  Good luck and  i hope this helps.

Answer 6

My friedn brushes her's with a horses dandy brush. ad then puts vasaline on him but i don't know, don't own one! =]

Answer 7

You should already have a moist shedding box in his habitat. But you can give him a bath in lukewarm water and mist him everyday.

Answer 8

soak it in warm water for ten min. fill it only about one inch. and then dry it off naturally ( air dry) you can also give it a hide that is moist hope this helps!
