Hi Evelyn,


It depends on whether the retained shed has been on long enough, or kept dry enough, to adhere to the new skin underneath from what I've seen.

When I'm doing it to mine for example she has only had them there for a maximum of 48 hours or so while still being in a humid environment so the skin comes off easily and without any damage to the underlying scales.

The amount of "force" required is also a factor - basically if a light rub with your thumb doesnt make it roll off at the edges once sprayed then I'd wait till the next shed.
