Question How old will Gargoyle Geckos be when they start to shed?

Also, is there any precautions you have to take with regular routines? Thank you!

Gargoyles don't shed on a regular basis like leopard geckos do (leopard geckos shed once a month, every month). Gargoyle's sort of have a random schedule to shedding. It could be anywhere from a month to three months after their last shed. You'll be able to tell when it's going to shed because you'll notice the gecko being duller in color than usual (even when fired up or down).
My regular routine is clean once a week, set out fresh food every other day, mist nightly, and a 5 min handling session every other night (mine are just starting handling- I'll increase frequency as they get more accustomed to me). They seem to be adjusting to living with me just fine following this routine- they've been with me for about 2.5 weeks.

If your asking an age as to when they start to shed, then the answer would be within a day of hatching. If your asking for ages by the amount of time between sheds, then there is no true answer. As reptiles get older, they shed less. Hope this helps some.
