Hello Ms./Mr. Thompson, You have received some good suggestions as to what to do about the actual shedding, however, the root cause of this needs addressing. Many folks jump to the conclusion that it is humidity - a way to check this is if you have multiple P.m. grandis specimens and one is always having trouble you can be suspicious something else is going on there. Parasites are a common root cause. They weaken the gecko enough so the shedding process is too taxing for them. To properly rectify this problem or problems you need to do two things:
1)Get a hygrometer from Radio Shack or the Bean Farm http://www.beanfarm.com and use it to adjust your ambient humidity to range in the 50-70% range, if not constantly achieved a couple times a day usually will do the trick. 2)Get a fecal done by a non-domestic veterinarian. Fecal samples are easy to get from a gecko that loves fruit babyfood so much! :) This way you will have all your bases covered. At minimum do #1 now and if the shedding problem continues definitely do #2. Good luck, and please let us know how your gecko does.
