I noticed my little baby 4wk old leo had some shedding left on its foot. I've read that if its not removed it can seriously deform the foot. I heard that you can use a q-tip with water to help remove it, but when I went to swab it with some luke warm water on a q-tip, the little guy bit the swab, I wasn't expecting that so I fliched at the same time, I pulled my arm up (very bad move), I accidently lifted the little guy up off the ground, but placed him back down very quickly... how can I help it without doing that to it again. I hope I didn't hurt the little guy, I feel so bad and stupid for trying that.
