A crested gecko’s shedding frequency differs by growth stage. Juveniles shed about once a week, adults generally once a month, and the exact rate also depends on the environment.
Each shed lasts 2 to 3 days; during this time avoid disturbing the gecko so shedding is not affected. After it finishes, add more nutrition to help the new skin grow quickly.
