| Last night I was trying to figure out why Yoshi didn't eat her dinner. I looked inside the humidity hide and discovered why. She was shedding. I am so excited that I finally got to watch my gecko shed! I also got a pic of one of the sheds she didn't eat. Has anyone ever seen their reptile do this?

Yes, my leopard gecko, and occasionally my crested gecko eat their sheds. They use their mouths to get the skin of and decide," Oh what the heck, it's in my mouth so I might as well eat it". It's good for them because it gives them calcium, and is kind of like recycling for reptiles.
