All geckos shed their skin at fairly regular intervals, with different species differing in timing and method. When shedding begins, geckos accelerate the process by detaching the loose skin from their body and eating it.

As someone with dermatillomania I wish I could do this.
this is terrifying
Looks like a Pokemon
Can someone link that gecko that shed its socks then ate them?
It looks the other way around , the skin is eating the gecko
Imagine being that one kid that gets sunburnt real bad and just eats the dry, flakey, and big layers of human pork rinds just to ‘accelerate the healing process’….
imagine that you saw a small child wearing a human onesie
My gecko shed his skin last night so his stickiness was restored, so now he thinks he’s Spiderman and keeps climbing on the ceiling and flinging himself at walls
That is so cute! Reminds me of my geck, Reina!
They will never notice me, I sneaky
Is cute and creepy at the same time.
WTF is up with that persons finger…talons? Are they a vampire? A werewolf just beginning their transformation? Did they just finish using the Palantir to commune with the Dark Lord Sauron?!
Why does the gecko eat the skin?
Are there nutrients in it that are precious to the animal in that time?
Are they getting rid of location evidence to predators?
This photo is so overused
Worm thing from Beetlejuice?
Now I want a lil gecko friend
Sekiro final boss fight
Geckos are freaking adorable
Geckos are so cute!
I remember reading that if the shedding is its entirety shows that the animal is in a great health condition ?
Contrary to the fact that if it’s in pieces it usually shows illness and stress during shedding.
Oh wow that’s amazing!! Bit yuck they eat the loose skin but still amazing!!
Aw, looks like he’s wearing a hooded onesie and ready for bed.
I am disturbed
That white gecko ate a whole brown gecko!
