Is This Stuck Shed?
 

Hi all, I'm a predictably over-anxious new crested gecko owner. I only have the one and got her a few days ago, and I'm just wondering if this is stuck shed or just the coloration of her foot? I really want to make sure she keeps all of her toes, besides the fact that stuck shed is probably uncomfortable for her.

I attached a picture of her foot below. Thanks!

Doesn't look like a stuck shed to me, it looks like she stepped in Repashi crested gecko diet and the food dried to her foot. It should wash off with water, but honestly I don't see anything there that would worry me.

That would definitely make sense since I saw some gecko food footprints on the glass earlier today. I'm very relieved, thank you for replying! :)

They love to step in their food and finger-paint all over the glass. Mine seem to do this right after I've cleaned the cages.

Many of mine also like to drag their tails through the food. I was worried about this, earlier. One of my leachies had this reddish crust on her tail. So, I picked her up to get a closer look and immediately realized it was dried Pangea watermelon food.
