More lost toes, Starting to really worry

[Loki210]

So in the last two days my little leo Mina had what I thought was a pretty uneventful shed for her. She used her moist hide, and got most of the skin off. We had a bit of trouble with her head but a bit of mineral oil and a cutip quickly solved that problem. I thought her toes were fine until today when my girlfriend went to feed and handle her and noticed she had two more toes missing since this latest shed. Not only that, but they're the worst yet, completely gone! This is starting to become a pattern and I feel horrible like this is something I'm doing to her when I really am trying everything. I've tried soaks, mineral oil, rolling with a cutip. All of which either plain don't work or she is too jittery to safely do. The only method I've read of and haven't tried is the sauna technique because I don't fully understand it through text and don't think I have anything I could use for a heat source. I just want her to be healthy and not lose any more, me and my girlfriend are both pretty upset about this and don't know what else to do. Any help would be really appreciated.

EDIT: This was just an incredibly scary false alarm and I feel silly that I made a big urgent thread like this for it. What was happening was that she somehow got her two middle toes tucked up under her foot. Does anyone have any experience with their geckos doing this? It's the first time I've seen it happen and it looked exactly as if they were just missing. Are their toes just that flexible that they get tucked sometimes, or is this something else I should watch for?

I can't help you with the toes gettng stuck thing but I can help you better understand the sauna thing... to make a sauna you can simply take a tupperware dish with some moist paper towels or a small washcloth (I always use hot water to soak my moist hide paper towels, it's cool enuff by the time I put it back with the leo but it steams up the hide really well in the meatime). You can either use a heating pad (the kind for people) or you can fill a sock with uncooked rice and put it in the microwave for a couple minutes to heat it up (or basically ANY heat producing item such as heat packs will work). Place the moist hide onto this heated item and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Don't walk away and check your leo often to make sure he isn't suffering from over heating. After that time the hide should be good and steamed up producing the "sauna" you want to get the stuck she off if soaking isn't feasable (and for some body parts it isn't like stuck shed on the nostrils). My Eros had some stuck shed on his toes from this last shed a couple days ago and I just filled the bathroom sink with a couple inches of nice warm water and it took about 10 minutes of soaking and rubbing his toes with a q-tip while he was in the water to get the shed off.

Was just thinking about the toe thing... sometimes when leos shed skin before it is actually ready to come off the new skin can be a little sticky and that could be how your leos toes got stuck to the bottom of her foot. Again just soak in a bit of warm water for 10-ish minutes to get the skin unstuck and she should be fine. Yes their toes are flexible enough to get into this position with out causing harm but if it remaines like this then you could be looking at damaged feet if she has to walk too much on her foot when it is stuck like this.
