    Question Gray toes?

    I recently got a rescue leopard gecko and he is about 5-6 months old and I have not sexed him yet. He shed a few days ago and it all came off in a complete piece with nothing stuck, he is active and a great hunter and climber but his feet are a light gray... I know this would typically be a sign of his circulation being cut but his toes move independently and he continues to be a strong active gecko and climbs all the time with no issue! Is it possible there is another cause for this or that its just his pattern? Im not sure of his morph and looking at pictures of when I very first brought him home his toes have always been gray they just seemed to darken after his last shed. I'm not sure how to add pictures. Any ideas for what could be going on with his feet?

    I don't think anyone can tell without a picture, but a lot of leopard gecko morphs seem to have gray feet, or at least gray toes, so it could be normal for him.

    totally fine....although it looks like their may be the tiniest amount of some stuck shed on his toenails....if you have a moist hid he/she will probably get that off no problem.

    Agreed with this. Some keepers will tell you just to add the moist hide when they're in shed, but I leave mine in all the time and mine use them as needed. I've never had concerns with shed. I also agree with Andiamo that you may have a tiny amount on the toenail but I don't think it's anything to be super concerned about.

    Thanks! His moist hide is always kept humid so i'm sure he'll get it off soon 👍
