He is so terribly freakin’ cute! And he is right where he needs to be during shedding. Are you misting that sphagnum moss a couple of times per day?

[Shae]

Thank you! And yes I am, he now has a new dig box / moist hide that has eco earth and the moss mixed together which he is loving!

[Zoodulcis]

Is he your second Gecko?

[Shae]

Kinda sorta.. He’s my first leopard gecko but I’ve had an array of other lizards and reptiles over the years.

[Zoodulcis]

Ah ha! I see, so new to Leopard geckos, but not reptile keeping. May I ask what other critters you have enjoyed being pet mom to?

[Shae]

Oh gosh a lot.
2 ball pythons
fish
dogs
cats
hamsters
anonles
skinks
turtles
I think that’s all of them lol

Ball pythons are awesome, I must admit. Say, I noticed in the photo that your guy’s shedding hide has sharp edges. Some keepers have had some unfortunate injuries due to that with their Leos. I would happy to see your happy boy tear his new skin. Just thought it worth a mention. And if it is soft styrofoam, it may not matter.

The container he’s in in the picture is soft styrofoam & in the new dig box I made him a few days ago, it’s plastic but I hot glued any sharp edges so he can’t hurt himself.
