Leopard Gecko Shedding Problem

[vctkiller]

Well my leo had stuck shed on her little inci bincy toes. I got her a bathe but my leo is an adult as is not much tamed. How could i take the skin off by not using a q-tip

You should soak her in room temp water a couple of times a day - adding a little peroxide she help too.

the only way is use is wamr water and then tweezers, maybe it will just fall off in the warm water?..?

Soak her toes in water first, then you can gently massage the area, the skin will losen and you can pull that off with a pair of tweezers.

How could I use tweezers? My leopard gecko isn't very tame much and burts when she sees me =(

It's never too late to try to start taming her, is it? Or have you tried to no avail?

I would soak her a few times a day for 5-10 minutes in a plastic tub with water high enough to touch the bottom of her belly.. See if that helps her get the shed off after a couple days

get like 8 in. tweezers, I know what you mean, if my male had anything wrong with him i would have to really struggle with him , he would probably freak out and lose his tail with my luck..

good luck

help me shed, my owner

If your gecko's home is large enough, put a larger watering hole in it partner..I actually have a male that sticks his whole head under water to loosen skin from his head..walking through it is very likely..
you can help by misting a few squirts of H2O into the air + keep close check on the humid hide that it is "humid"....sounds to me as if you and your pet should start knowing each other "slowly". No confidence/trust for you and the gecko is very likely to get a dropped tail. Take care. HJ
