Alright well some of us are unfortanute to have leos that still have the little tiny pieces of skin still stuck to there toes, whats the easiest/best way to get it off?

I find placing it on a very wet and warm paper towel and letting it walk around for a while loosens the shed nicely.

Place the gecko in a warm humid/wet container for about 10-15 minutes, this should moisten the stuck shed. You can either use a Q-tip to gently rub off the shed or if the shed is really stuborn you can use tweezers if the gecko will hold still and you have a steady hand.

I usually fill a bowl with 1/2 inch of warm water (for an adult gecko / babies should be 1/4 inch or less) and let the gecko soak for about 5 minutes. It's just quicker this way.
