Exclamation T. Roborowskii rubbing his scales off..
Here is Ollie Gecko, I believe he is a T.Roborowskii, but not 100%. He shed for the first time since I got him, I noticed afterwards he had rubbed some of his scales off. Is this normal?

I wouldn't say that is normal, but keep a close eye on him.

definitely a roborowski. Looks to be in good health too. The missing scales aren't exactly normal, but i wouldnt worry about it unless it gets worse. Let him adjust and go through another shed, make sure he is eating in normal quantities and i think everything should be fine. Once acclimated these geckos are indestructible. a few missing scales will do nothing to them.
