My Leopard Gecko (Rex)

I've had him about 2 weeks now, he is really starting to settle in .

I was worried at first because the very first day I got him, he started to shed and it took him about 5 days to shed. I have a moist hide and the temps/humidity are perfect, is 5 days long? I did notice that he shed twice, back to back. His body shed first then it took him ages to get it off his head (4 days ish) he didn't look uncomfortable in any way but one night he finally got his head to shed off, then he just started on the body again! And it all came off in one go.

Is this normal? Should I be worried :P?

He has gone a VERY bright yellow (Almost like a glow in the dark toy rofl) and has like a green unibrow going from eye to eye, looks like he is constantly frowning :P, ill post pics when I can.

He is about 3 and a 1/2 months old :P

Any replies are welcome !

Re: My Leopard Gecko (Rex)

Hi...do you have a moist hide for him. They usually shed in one piece but they can take several days to do this. Nothing to worry about though .
