[Leo-Land]

How much are you feeding? How are the temps? How much bigger is the male then she? What size is the cage? Do you have a humid hide?

All the above needs to be answered for us to be able to help you!

as much as I hate to refer you to another leopard gecko website other than my own, I feel it is something that needs to be done. This article goes indepth with what can be happening with your gecko and its shedding problem.

I'm no expert but i would say that if your leopard gecko is a baby it may jsut be going through one crazy growth spurt lol.

the skin is coming off fine just alot and its not a baby its almost full grown and it dosnt seem like it would be dysecdysis

You need to have a humid hide and keep the room humidity
at at least 40%. Then you won't have any shedding problems.

Also keep a dish of calcium carbonate powder in one dish and fresh water in another. Keep your hot end of the tank at 88F, and no heat in the other end.

the same thing, pretty much, happenned to my leopard a while back and now shes doing fine...i think its just when there babies they grow rapidly for a short period of time...just make sure the shedding is comming off cleany...they most important place to look are the toes because they can easily rot off...but i wouldnt get to worried...i also dont think it is aggression because these lizards are normally very friendly. just aslong as there size difference isnt to much they should be fine together..they also say 2 males should not be housed together so that might also be your problem..

hope this helped :)
