Stuck Shed

[Dudemom888]

Hi! My leo gecko, Greg shed 2 nights ago.... and he didn't come out last night (usual for his shed as he sleeps a lot). Tonight he came out and he has some shedding stuck on his nose and close to his eye. I'm not concerned about the nose, but the one close to his eye is the one I have a question about. Do I just leave it for a couple of days? Or do I help out now? And how? He has shed twice (as far as I know) before with no problems. He's about 9 months old. Thanks!

the bit on the nose is okay and should fall off eventually with no problem. if he's okay with being handled you could dampen the skin using a Qtip and some warm water and try to roll it off once its loosened up (make sure to roll in a direction away from the eye towards the nose to avoid pushing it into the eye.
dose he have a moist hide?

Turns out Greg just needed another day to get rid of it on his own! He does have amoist hide and he spends lots of time in there....most of the day actually!

Thanks!
