Tiny piece of shed stuck!

[herpnewb12]

Vlad has a tiny piece of shed stuck and I'm not sure how to get it off. What do you guys suggest?

When his eye is open it doesn't look like it bothers him, it's pretty much only noticeable when closed.

kiki got some shed stuck in her eye a about a year ago. i left it alone for a couple days hoping it would make its way out on ints own, but that didn't happen. i eventually bought some saline and squirted it in there and it came out the next day. i'd recommend you get some saline and squirt it in there!! hopefully that'll work for you. you could also try lightly rubbing it with a q-tip soaked in saline or warm (not hot) water.

i tried to do a search to find the thread i made about it a year ago, but couldn't find it for some reason. good luck!

It's not even in the eye, just on it. But I'll see if I can get it off. Thanks!

+1 with the cotten bud idea, whenever i think that a peice is going to stick i wet a cotten bud and gently roll it between my fingers over the area.

Ok thanks! I'm just nervous because of the proximity to his eye.

Alright! I got it with a wet q-tip!:main_thumbsup: I would've been easier if he hadn't kept trying to eat the thing...:main_rolleyes:
