    Crested Gecko Shedding Problems!

    My crested gecko Dozer has gone in shed, but it seems that he only got the shed off of his body and face(not tail cuz it dropped, but it's fine to me, I think they look cuter without the tails ), but not his front and back legs. I've read that to remedy the said situation to just spray the cage more often. What do you guys reccomend?

    Misting more often should definitely help. Also, you can give him a humide hide by putting moist sphagnum moss in a hide and keeping it damp.

    Misting once a day will help them. For the stuck shed right now though, you could give him a sauna. Link here. She explains it really well.

    put him in a small deli cup with damp paper towels for a couple of hours. the skin should loosen up and come off easily. we use tweezers to make sure it comes off all the toe pads.

    Well I inspected him, and I noticed that he only got the shed off of his head, and it's still on his body, legs, and toes. I'm wondering why he only got it off of his eyes and head, and not his body.
