I just got a leopard gecko and it had stuck shed on its toe. I rolled it off and the toe where the shed was (which was just at the tip) is dry then the end is red. What should I do to help make sure it returns to normal?

Also, her armpits are really deep (inward). Poor thing. ;-; I'm supplementing so hopefully they fill out soon.

Ozy also had deep armpits for a very long time, I don't think it's really anything to worry about. As long as her toe isn't black she should be fine. When you hold your finger really tightly and the blood is constricted it turns red. When you release it, it turns normal again. I think she'll be fine now that the shed is off and she just needs to get her circulation back. She could also be a little irritated there from getting the shed removed. :)
