You soaked him today? Did he seem stressed? Usually you'd let them rest in their tub alone for the first week. I'm not soaking my newest "rescue" with stuck shed til next week. But if he seemed fine with it, then props for getting that nasty old skin off for him.
Yeah, I know it probably wasn't the best idea to do it right away, but I couldn't stand seeing him like that. Don't worry, I'm totally leaving him alone for a while now.
