I just bought a Female for my Tokay.
She looks very healthy, fat and is beautiful.
The only problem is that she CAN NOT adherel. If you touch the toes, they have no adherence at all.
It seems to me that in the store she didn't have the right humidity and therefor she couldn't shed properly.
Anyone has a suggestion about it?
It's been like a week and still can't stick to the glass (where the warming comes from).

Likely she has stuck shed on her toes. Try to get her to sit still in a shallow container of luke warm water for about 15 minutes, they try gently rubbing her toes till the old skin peels off.

Hehehe, I've actually been doing that, but.. how do you keep the water warm (that little quantity) for 15 mins? I've been able to keep it warm for 2-3mins top. Afterwards, I've tried to pull the old skin off and a lot has come out, but still can't stick. Is it possible that she has to many? I mean, from more than one shed several layers).

It is possible there are many layers built up and she could be close to losing her toes. Just keep working with her. I live in AZ, things stay warm here on their own, like shallow pools of water.

How often should I do it? (Im worried about stressing her out doing this)

Thanks for answering!

[Palor]

I would do it 1x a day till she has her wall climbing talents back.

Thanks a lot !!!

I'll post some macro pics from the toes so you can tell how bad it looks :P

This problem is often resolved after the next shed if you keep the conditions proper.

[holocaustto]

I know, but even if it is not just from the last shed? Im prety sure there are several layers from more than one "bad shedding".

Normally the problem would resolve itself next shed, but it seems this is a serious case of compounded stuck skin. This often just gets worse with each shed even if conditions are perfect. A little shedding help and this gecko will be good as new next shed
