I made a horrible mistake by trying to help Ted shed. It was a bit on his tail and he was having trouble. I went to pull and I'm pretty sure I peeled a bit of the new skin too.
They go through shedding about once every one to two weeks (juveniles are growing boys...).
The following morning I found him hiding in the turtle shell hide. His wound has the same consistency as the rest of his tail (soft to the touch) and he didn't seemed as based by my assessment of it.
I did the best thing I could think of- I removed the substrate I had and replaced it with Reptile Carpet for the time being so it doesn't get infected.
The end of his tail, near the tip, seems to be drying up. I think he might lost that section of his tail.
God, I'm such a bad lizard parent...
