Ok so first off, I need to apologize for the quality of the pictures... they were taken very hastily!

So my rescue Leopard Gecko, Josie, has never had a good shed. She has two humid hides, and uses them, but for some reason always has some I need to help her with. So today, when she shed, I had to soak her a little. She had some stuck around her mouth and eye, so I gently used a warm wet q-tip to try and coax it off. She must have been in a bad mood, because normally she does really well with this but today she opened her mouth REALLY wide! It was kinda cute!
Anyway, I got all the shed off and took some pictures of her telling me she was going to eat me while I worked on her!

I was thinking the same thing... thats a biiiiiiiiiiig girl! She's absolutely lovely though. That 1st picture is too cute. It is so rare to see a Leo show any kind of menacing behavior, so when they finally do, the only thing you can say is "Awww... how cute! You're tying to be tough!"

I'm sorry she's been having such a rough time shedding, but that may be due to more than just humidity problems. If she's a rescue, then she is probably very susceptible to stress. A little bit more time in a good environment will help boost her confidence a bit. Try using stiff sphagnum moss in her hides next time. Some moss is a bit soft, but if you can find some good stiff moss, it helps to ease the shed off a bit better.
