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

I always like Q-tips, something about the cotton that helps pull it off.

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.

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.
