Shedding is a normal process that all leopard geckos go through. Most adults shed once every four to eight weeks. When your lizard starts shedding you may notice them stop eating and act lethargic or irritable.

Is it normal for my leopard gecko to shed a lot?

Leopard geckos need to shed their skin to stay healthy. Young leopard geckos shed every 1 – 2 weeks, while adult leopard geckos shed every 4 – 8 weeks. If your leopard gecko is shedding more often than this, it is usually because its body is stressed by disease, mites, or poor nutrition.

How fast do leopard geckos shed?

Growth rate, injury, stress, illness and reproductive status can all influence the length of time between shed cycles. That said, you can normally expect young leopard geckos to shed about once every week or two. Adult leopard geckos, on the other hand, will generally shed about once every four to eight weeks.
