Shedding question

My one gecko still has some shed stuck to his nose. It has been a few weeks, and still the shed is stuck to the tip of his nose? Should I help peel it off? The temp is normally 90, though can drop to 80 sometimes, or lower at night, though durning the day the temp is usually 90 on the warm side. I have a humid hide, though I am going to have to cutt a bigger hole because Ninja is getting too big to fit through the hole to go to his humid hide. Today I am going to make a bigger hole for him.

Dip a Q-tip type cotton swab in water and gentle dab it on where the loose skin is still attached. Give it a few minutes and then GENTLE rub the skin with the Q-tip to remove it. Most of the time, all that you need to do is dab the area and it will come off on its own.

Good practice to check your leos to ensure that shed was complete during your feeding or during your cleaning.
