Problems with the shedding!!!

Hi!! My name is iker and i'm from spain so excuse me because my english isn't good enought yet!!
I have two geckos an small male and a bigger female.
I have some problems with the last one,he shed when i returned from my chritsmas holidays (1 week and my neighbourg fed them) and seh has some dead skin in her toes,so i put more water at the humid hide,i removed the other cave so she was always at the moisted one,i puted some warm water to try to remove it but it was a waste of time,yesterday she shed again and now she have more dead skin in her toes again,now her hands look just like gloves of skin,the warm water don't work and now she have some problems when she walk because of this ,she have calcium 22-28 degrees all day (thermostat) and food,and water,and 3 hides,(cold moist and hot)
Can i do something or should i send her to the vet?

Keep doing warm water baths, up to about 20 minutes. Try rolling a moist q-tip against the skin in a manner to slowly get it off.

The warm water baths help a lot, try to do 1-2 a day just not too much.

at a last resort i also use some tweezers to remove tricky shed but have to be extra careful not to pinch the skin underneath.
your cage temps are also a little low. hot side needs to be a bit higher, around 34oC.
