It is generally not recommended to assist a leopard gecko in shedding its skin unless absolutely necessary. Leopard geckos have a natural shedding process that helps remove old skin, and interfering can potentially harm the gecko's delicate new skin underneath. Providing a moist hide in their enclosure can help facilitate the shedding process naturally. If you notice your gecko struggling to shed or if skin is not coming off properly, it is best to consult a reptile veterinarian for guidance.
