ATB won't shed, causing problems.

Ooooh. Ok then.

I have a leopard gecko that has ALWAYS had a bad shed and I have to help him every time. What I use instead of just water, is mineral oil. Take a bit, soak a corner of a small cloth, and gently rub it into him. Let it sit for a few minutes, and reapply. Test the shed, if it's still holding, reapply. When I first got my 'problem child' it took about 5 applications and 3 days to get the stuck shed off. Now I only have issues with his eyes, nose, and toes and he KNOWS when it's time for me to help lol. Poor thing.

Good to know about the mineral oil. Might give that a try.
