Sick or Shedding?

Melinda G · 08-01-11, 11:50 AM

New to site- Just trying to get some questions answered. We got a crested gecko on 7-19-11 and I just noticed this morning that he or she is turning kind of pale. The skin on the top of his head seems looser and he seems slightly more pale around the back of his head, neck and back. It looks like a start of a shed but it doesn't. Is this a problem? Pictures of before and after coming up.

Looks like shed to me.

I was out all day but when I checked on him he had shed a little. Thanks for your help. One other thing- how do I look at pics? Even on my own pictures it tells me that I don't have access. I'm computer stupid so use the KISS method.

Hello and welcome! I agree with Stephan it going into shed.

Yes my girl looks just like that a day or 2 before shedding, just to let you know they eat there shed so you might not see any around the cage after he is done.

oh a spray down the cage a little to help it out with the shed.
