Jared ~ I, too, am very sorry about the passing of your female Uro. The pain, at least when my geckos die, seems greater the longer one has had the gecko, but, nonetheless, it still hurts. It seems like she left a little one behind for you and other eggs ;-} No doubt, as vigilant with

Chris ~ I recommend placing your gecko in a humdity chamber. Take a plastic container with lid, add holes, and then add a warm, damp washcloth. Place your gecko inside. You can keep this in a warm area like near a lamp. That will loosen the old skin everywhere and make it easy to remove.

You're most welcome Chris! I'm glad that my suggestion helped out your gecko. Good to hear that the skin remaining is only on her toe pads and does not encircle the entire toe. What about trying the humidity box again? Then after five or so hours you might take something like a dry
