I feel kind of guilty b/c i realize in retrospect that in the past when he really really puts up a fight to stay in his enclosure there is usually a reason like he needs to poop or he's going to shed that very night. But I had left him alone for 2 or 3 days to shed and I wanted to make sure there was nothing stuck so I kept pushing. Luckily the scales are just sort of scraped a bit, no effect on his actual skin (I think). I was playing with his head a lot to see if it was painful at all or if it was just stuck shed, but he didn't even seem to notice, sonibfigure he's probably no worse for the wear.
