Question.

My gecko seems to be having trouble sticking to things. He will go part way up the glass and his plastics plants then slide off.

Is he going to shed or is something wrong with the little fellow?


Thanks!

Hey, I remembered seeing this thread.... http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...gecko+sticking

maybe something in there? I bet Emily will probably know????

Sounds like he is ready to shed to me....give him a few days and see if he does not have his gecko glue back

Thanks for the link, and I hope he is just about to shed. Don't want anything to be wrong with this little fellow. Spraying more almost makes it look harder for him to climb? Maybe thats just me.

lol! I've "knocked" mine off the glass before while misting! Good thing they land well!

heh...back when I had my kiddos I remember him sliding all over the place...it was then that I learned crested geckos shed too ...then eat it :eek:

yep, he probably just needs to shed. mist him a little extra for the next few days and see if that does the trick.

[8b8ll]

Awesome will do I will post whether or not he sheds in a couple of days.

Well he was looking rather wrinkly tonight so I made sure he was well hydrated shut of the lights except the little night glow light he has set on low.

And he is shedding!! I was getting worried.

Thanks everyone for the help.

no worries, i'm sure he'll have his sticky back as soon as he gets that old skin off.
