All 3 of my crested geckos have shed in the space of about 2 weeks.
I was just wondering how much they do shed and how often they do shed :) :banana:

There are many variables that go into shedding such as growth rate,humidity, etc.

mine shed a little bit over a month each time. I don't see them shed because it's usually very late at night. how I know is they go ghost colored to normal overnight.

My crested is 7 months old and so far has consistently had a full-body shed once a month. I know this only because he likes to start his shed mid-afternoon, so I'm lucky enough to get to watch. My herp. vet said this is pretty normal (other than doing it during the day) and that once he's full grown, he should shed maybe a few times a year.

Ya, mine go from pale to vibrant over night. My high red actually woke my up in the middle of the night because she was rubbing on her planter ledge
