Lookin good!

So I caught Jordan in mid-shed last night and seconds later, the shed was gone. How did such a little lizard eat a huge shed that quickly!?! Well this morning, he/she was nowhere to be found so I rustled through the cage and found it hiding under some moss. Forget nocturnal, he spend the next 15 mins roaming all over the cage and finally attracting the attention of the cats.

Oh how cute is Jordan! I didn't realize until recently (part of my ever growing addiction to all things gecko) that cresties eat their own shed. Is this a common gecko thing or just with cresties?

I don't know with other geckos, but I do know leos pull off their sheds and eat it too....yuk!

Ya got me! I didnt find out until last night... :)

My fat tails also eat thier own shed.

I sometimes eat my own shed...

Awwwww :hug: :licking:

Thanks!! :)

The crestie is looking good Jamie!

Oh, and all of my leos eat their shed skin. Must be a fairly common practice among lizards.

CUTE! most lizards eat their sheds. supposedly it is because leaving a shed behind would be evidence that the lizard was close by and might clue in predators to look there.
