Stuck Shed

[jjaber]

Hello!
My leopard gecko shed recently and she has some stuck shed on her nose. I tried warm water or coconut oil with a q tip but neither worked. A lot came off, but there’s still some stuck. The problem is, she hates when I touch her face. She moves right when I touch her nose so I can’t rub too well with the q tip. I might try a bath, but I do not know if that will help in this situation and have been avoiding it because she gets so stressed out. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thanks!

Use your fingernails. Hold the gecko firmly and instead of coming at it from the front, slide your hand over the top of its head and down to the nose.

A bath will almost certainly help. Warm water. Supervised at all times. Give her 10 mins in the water up to her chest while standing on all 4 feet
