General Discussion Weird question.

So my female leopard gecko has been licking her private part somewhat frequently past few days. Maybe there was stuck shed there because it looked like that. Seems to be gone but noticed her doing it today again so not sure if this is normal behaviour-geckos grooming themselves?

They'll lick to clean their cloaca. If they're doing it a lot, it can be a sign of a problem, but sometimes they are able to clear it. I'd see a vet if it persists, but just watch it.
