Hey folks! So my juvenile leopard is having some issues with shed skin getting stuck on his back feet, toes more specifically. I've tried a q-tip, as well as a warm soak. I was partially successful, but he still has some stuck to the tips of his toes. Any advice? I've gently tugged at it to no avail, and I don't want to hurt him by being to forceful.

Fingernails! Hold the gecko gently in one hand around your waist. Put the edge of your shirt over the gecko's head so it thinks it's hiding and so it won't bite you. Use your fingernails. Worst case, there will be a little blood, but it's not a big deal. I do this all the time.
