Leopard Gecko Skin Eating Behavior Under normal conditions a Leopard gecko will shed in one large piece. It might be strange to notice that although you saw the start of the shedding process, there are sometimes no skin lying in the cage? This is due to Leopard gecko skin eating behavior also called ceratophagia). Weather it is an evolutionally adaptation to "recycle" nutrients, to serve as protective mechanism to prevent predators from finding them in their habitat or simply to ease the process is unknown. What is certain is that when a Leopard gecko is eating its skin it is a fascinating, sometimes not so commonly seen behavior of these secretive animals. Leopard gecko skin regurgitation on the other hand is sometimes an indication of a sick gecko. |
