    2 female Leopard geckos they look healthy. will even eat meal worms out of my fingers if I hold the worm, The problem is they just shed and one has dead skin left on all 4 feet. I set her in the water dish before I took it out to clean and I have a humid hide which she was in the other evening what can I do?
    thank you

    i used a wet cue tip after they kinda soaked for a bit in warm water and kinda twisted gently around the dead skin.it worked but it took a few days

    ohhh,and i used tweezers once the skin kinda lifted away.just be gentle,its gonna take a bit of time

    Yes, what Butters said. I will also add that they shed roughly every two weeks. Please make sure the stuck shed is gone by then. There is a chance they can lose toes/feet if it isn't off by the next shed.

    A lot of people provide humid hides for leos. Mine do not use it. I just spray them before their shed. One always sheds perfectly and my bigger one usually has some on a couple toes afterwards. I'll just put her in a sink with some warm water in it for 5 minutes or so and then go at it with a que-tip.
