I'm pretty sure that my leopard gecko just shedded for the first time since i got him. He's never really in his moist hide but my mom said she saw him in there today and now his body looks a lot brighter like orange almost but he was brown and he's a normal, or so ivr been told. Also above his eyes looks greenish now which is kinda cool and more spots. But anyways!..now it almost looks like he has this small pinkish bubble on his nose buy i cant really get close enough to tell what it is. Is this normal for after shedding? Could it possibly just be really new skin?i don't really know and im worried I want him to be okay he seems to be acting normal but I think its strange. I don't notice it until i get up close. Also I've only been feeding him crickets and he seems to be pretty good about it so i dont think a cricket could have really hurt him in any possible way. Any ideas?

You are over-reacting. He is fine. Leo's have a tendency to rub their noses on whatever they can during shedding, this can make their nose sore or a bit raw(or sometimes it just happens when they are pulling off shed and the area isn't quite ready). It will sort itself out just make sure his tank is clean.
