Focus on the couple

[Diaspora]

While chillin on my leg
Thought I would get them out and leave them easy peasy to "bond"

 

[PatsyB]

So cute. I just love little babies!

I noticed that Ryu hadn't shed completely..
I managed to remove some left skin at her feet (or paw? No idea)
But at her tail I don't know what to do..

And what was left on her head made that mark..

Should I be worried ?

 

[Diaspora]

And thanks for them !

Tails are very hard to shed. I'm currently dealing with a difficult shed on my boy. Daily warm water soaks help, you can also take a soft toothbrush and "brush" in the direction of the scales. There's also a product that I really like called Reptile Shedding Aid. It's in a little spray bottle and you spray it on the shed to help moisten it get it to come off. I usually spray it on at night before the lights go out because it is an oil and I'm afraid it might cook them LOL! Really though, Dexter had skin stuck on her belly for MONTHS I sprayed this on for a few nights and woke up to find a whole sheet of skin laying in the bottom of her tank!

Ill try the tooth brush then
And otherwise I'll try to find that's spray here in Belgium
Can you maybe also tell me how often they shed ?
Thanks for the advice

shedding is dependent on how fast they grow. Babies will shed a lot more frequently than adults. I don't remember the last time my boy and girl shed. My adult geckos though shed every few weeks. You can also rub some oil on the shedding skin. I like coconut oil but others here have other preferences.

I used the toothbrush, and since I soaked her yesterday it came all off easily !
Thanks again

I think Drago also had a "bad shed" so I gave him a shower and I think he really liked it! (he even pooped while on my hand, how nice of him [emoji28]..)
Going to do that every few days and see if he indeed still has leftovers of his shed

 

[PatsyB]

What a sweetheart! I love his coloring.

 

[Diaspora]

Yeah he really is !
Sometimes he's unpredictable though, still getting used to me I think

 

[Mushuandcricket]

They are cute!

 

[Diaspora]

I was right
He had left overs
Look how gorgeous he is now!

And here a picture of the lovers
