Question Shedding problems!

My uromastyx just shed and i was trying to help it out by giving it a little soak or two while in shed and he got most of it off but MYYYYY that cant shed...He always has little bits left usually on his tale and head...does anyone else have as much as a problem with there uro's shedding and how do you deal with it!! Its so fusterating already i always have to go and wet him and than pick it off with an eyelash pronger thingy Does anyone else have other strategies on this?
thanks...

I have the same problem with mine! It's tough because it can't be too humid in the tank but i find that soaking him for a long time will help loosen it up. They're tough guys, i wonder how they do it in the wild?! Good luck!
