View Full Version : Stuck Shed
Southern Wolf 12-30-2008, 04:23 AM While cleaning cages tonight I noticed that one of my adult leos had a partial stuck shed on the top of her head. What is gonna be the best way to get it off.
and yes she has a humid hide :cool:
Thanks for your help
JChandler 12-30-2008, 07:10 AM I always like Q-tips, something about the cotton that helps pull it off.
FloridaHogs 12-30-2008, 07:49 AM I would go with Jeffs suggestion
Varanus99 12-30-2008, 07:54 AM Q-tip and a little water.
If that doesnt work a soak will take care of it.
Not sure how well geckos handle being wrapped up, but a warm wet washcloth might do the trick if you can get her to stay in/under it for awhile.
Southern Wolf 12-30-2008, 12:09 PM Thanks... I will try those suggestions.
Im a snake guy... so Im having to learn with these little gems.

JChandler 12-31-2008, 07:44 AM Use them in multiples of two no matter what you do....you'll be angry when you get to the end of the box and only find one.

Solid advice right there.
