So, my little 227 gr. 1.0 Pastel has had a stuck shed on one eye and around his nose.

He went into shed about a week ago, so I made sure to keep his humidity at 70%-75%. I wanted to make sure it comes off this time.

Well he shed last night/this morning. It was mostly a good shed. The eyes shed, but not the top of the head/face, and around the heat pits/nose. What the crap is going on!? None of my others have had this problem!

Anyway, he opens his mouth about every 20 seconds to breathe. How would you suggest I get this shed off? It's already off of his head/face. The only stuck stuff, now, is around his heat pits/nose. It's like he has a stuffy nose.

I don't see any signs of RI. I've opened his mouth and it seems to be un-irritated, nice and pink, and there are no bubbles or mucus to be seen. He does have a popping sound every now and then with his mouth opening, but I'm pretty sure it's just the darn stuck shed.

I'm soaking him for 30 min. at a time, hoping it does the trick. How often would you suggest? Or maybe soak for longer? Help?

Will this cause an RI?
