Hi all. One of my 11 wk old crested geckos has gone a grayish colour from its usual green/brown i take it its due to shed? its seems to be staying at the bottom of its Viv rather than the top and seems wrinkly the other is also going duller. Are they like snakes as in they go dull then bright then shed? This is the first shed since I've had them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello, Yep it definately sound like its going into shed.. It will be staying at the bottom coz their sticky feet dont work while theyr shedding..
Once the shed skin is gone they will have their usual bright colour back Smile

Heres one of mine mid-shed..

Hi thanks for the replies. That's a great pic JoJo. They seem to have gone back to there normal colour and are climbing again. They seem ok. Ive had a quick look at them both and they don't seem to have any stuck skin so all seems well. Thanks again. Paul
