Question
My lepord geckoe is 5 to 6. Months old and she . Just shed hid skin and from what I remember reding after the geckoe sheds his skin she  eats it but my lepord geckoe did not eat his skin she left her tail and the crumpled up skin on her back. But it did not look like she shed a lot. She I'd the only one in the cage.  Pleas get to me as soon as you. Can on why she did not eat her sheddings and why she did not shed a lot.  Thankyou

Answer
Hello  Riga,

Well, they don't always eat their shed, only sometimes.  
How humid is the humid hide/cave that you have for her?  
Do you have the humid hide/cave on top of an undertank heater to allow for the humidity to increase better for her?
Were you able to get the rest of the shed off?  Her entire body should shed at the same time, as well.
Can you post a picture of her?
