Hi Cyndy, Good point! I forgot to cover it. Indeed, any kind of stress, including stress from a cagemate, can cause poor shedding and poor health in general. The vitamin supplementation could also be a factor. What are you using? Try separating the girl and see if that alleviates the shed problem.
Anytime one gecko in a terrarium is having a health issue you should separate them out until they stabilize. If you let a gecko get too run down stress will kill them as sure as a sledgehammer, in a not so obvious way. Stress leaves them vulnerable to parasites and what have you that they would normally resist or not be so affected by. On the Conservatory topic: I was told the other day the geckos are still seen at the Conservatory! This is great news, however, they are remodeling and some of them could be lost in that necessary task. :( Julie Bergman http://www.geckoranch.com Cyndy wrote: > Julie, > Do you think stress can be a cause for poor shedding?
