my leo (f) has shed twice since i got her and the first time she shed i noticed she missed some shed on one of her toes. she is very antisocial and doesn’t like to be held or touched especially her feet. she recently finished her second shed and it’s still on that toe (now doubled) and now another one on a different foot. i’ve tried to help her by gently using tweezers to rub it off, to no avail, it just makes her upset. she won’t let me hold her for more than 30 seconds and definitely won’t let me touch her feet, and i just don’t know what to do. any thoughts or suggestions?

for stuck she'd the best course of action is to do a "gecko sauna". Take a Tupperware or similar storage container with a lid, line the bottom with some paper towels, fill with warm not hot water just enough to cover the paper towels. Put gecko inside with lid on for 10-15 minutes. then try gently pushing the stuck shed off with a qtip (don't pull!)
Do you have a humid hide in your enclosure?

thank you
and yes i do have a humid hide but from what i’ve seen it looks like she tries to avoid the moss inside of it which i think is strange
