Do you have a moist hide in his tank? That can help in the process of shedding.
If he's just got shed stuck to him you can very gently help him. A wet q-tip is very useful with this, especially if he's got shed stuck to his toes. If the skin isn't coming off easily enough, you can get a plastic container, line it with a couple paper towels and put no more than a quarter-inch of lukewarm water in it and let your Leo soak in there for 5-10 min. Then you can try the q-tip method again.
