I got a new super snow last week (Hasn't eaten anything yet...) and he shed today. A few toes on his back feet have some stuck shed, and normally I would just peel it off with a q-tip, but this guy isn't exactly a peaceful gecko. He runs like crazy if he sees a shadow move (Im not kidding.) Im going to go search this and see what other people did, but I want to know what you think.

you'll have to get him, whether he likes it or not.
put him in a bowl thats tall enough he cant get out, put a paper towel in the bottom, and warm water, not too high of course. then you'll have to hold him (with skittish ones i find it best to hold them above their shoulders in my hand so their whole body is supported but they cant get away or bite me) and use the q-tip
