The gecko gently tugged at the thin, translucent layer with quick bites, revealing brighter, fresh scales beneath. Leopard geckos typically shed every two to four weeks, and the video ends with the reptile finishing the last piece before settling down with its newly vibrant skin.

China: Owner Helps Pet Gecko Shed Skin Using Straw

On August 6, 2025, in Hebei province, located in northern China, a video recorded a pet leopard gecko during its shedding period. The owner decided to assist the reptile with the process.

The gecko reacted with small grimaces, but the shedding was completed successfully. The clip fascinated viewers who rarely see such close-up animal care.
