Phelsuma Shedding question

[Nathanb]

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Geckos - we have 3 Phelsuma Grandis in the viv together (1 male 2 females), all seem to get on fine and up to now no problems - one of the females started shedding on Thursday evening and she's only managed to shed about half of her skin (she has managed to clear her head and her feet/toes)

Usually it's a pretty quick affair (from my limited experience) - a day max or so and all the skin is gone - she's off live food as well - even ignoring mealworms! (although she has had a lick at the fruit pot and some Gecko food earlier today)

I've got a repti-fogger on the tank and I've upped the number of times it comes on a day to keep the humidity really high; I suspect the problem is she really likes it in the basking spot and won't budge - I have 3 Hygrometers on the setup, humidity is usually about 45% under the basking spot, 65% on the other side of the setup and about 75% near the bottom.

Do I have anything to worry about or should it just sort itself in a few days? Is there any way to help her and speed it up - someone suggested zoo med shedding aid - is that worth a go?
Thanks

how long have you had her?

she may still be adjusting if it's recent?

if not, what's her diet like?

Thanks Aimless, she's only been in this tank a couple of weeks and we added the friends as she went in, so all in all a bit of a shock and as you suggest probably still adjusting
Diet up to now has been good - mainly crickets (I can't feed things like hoppers and locusts as they just eat the plants!)

She's doing a lot better today though - by upping the humidity and using the zoo med shedding aid she's probably now only got 15-20% left, when I made the original post she must have had 60-70% left.
She's still not too interested in live food but she is drinking and she will lick at a fruit pot, I'm hoping another couple of days and she'll be back to normal

sometimes if they're a bit flaky about feeding when they've had a change they'll be just a bit dehydrated. I'm guessing she'll be fine from here.

Thanks again Aimless - she seems back to normal today. I put a load of crickets in first thing this morning and she's spent all morning hunting round for them so her appetite is back!
