Leoperd gecko shedding question.

[Tarantula_man94]

My leopard gecko is on the verge of becoming an adult leoperd gecko. (now he is a juvi). He hasnt been eating 4 the past few days and this is probly y. anyway he has been shedding all day and he still isnt even halfway done. is this normal?
he has a Uvb light, and a 100 watt heat bulb. Is this normal and should i feed him now?

A 100W bulb? Yikes! I would guess that's part of the problem. Does he have any humidity in the cage? Most of mine will complete their shed within an hour or so. How large is the cage? If he is not done by tonight, I'd help him shed the rest of it. Then try to feed him tomorrow. Don't worry, a few days without eating will not normally harm them, but if he doesn't eat in the next few days........ I'd start to worry. Of my several hundred leos, we very seldom have them quit eating for an extended period of time. But the are not heated with anything more than a 40-60W bulb. And the cages are large sweater boxes.

Keep me posted

Does he have access to a humid hidebox? They need those. Otherwise he's going to end up with toes like this guy, if he's lucky:

In that case, just make sure that you add the humid hidebox, and it should work out just fine.
