|
|
We bought 3 Cresties about a week ago and one of them was shedding and still had some on his back.
The skin has still not fallen off and i just wanted to know if this was ok and if it will come off in it's own time of if i should do something to help?
Thanks

you could just mist the viv up with tepid water, so long as the skin isn't around his toes, eyes or tail he will be fine and it will come off sooner or later. _________________

What I do to aid shedding is; run your hot tap until it reaches it's hottest temperature. Fill your sprayer up with the hot water, set the nozzle to the finest mist and spray the viv. You could also spray the gecko (lightly). As soon as the water touches the air it cools so don't worry it won't burn your gecko (test it on your arm first and you'll see what I mean). _________________ Best wishes, Jackie
