    speck of stuck shed. leave it be?

    I noticed a speck of what appears to be a stuck shed the side of a little scale. I am wondering if I should leave it be or attempt to remove it. i got him from the breeder like this. I have heard of people using a warm wet paper towel and soaking it but i do not know if this is necessary humidity is about 60-70%.

    Thanks

    Not seeing it and going only by what I know, almost nothing, I would say leave it.

    I would recommend providing a humid hide over soaking or manually removing it.

    I wouldn't lose any sleep over a "speck of stuck shed", personally.
