Help with stuck shed?

Hey, I received a GTP the other day but she had a lot of stuck shed toward her head and neck. The rest of her body is in good shape. I tried soaking her and using a wet towel because she allowed me but it did nothing at all. Is tere much else I can do her humidit is good she gets sprayed a few times a day. She eats and is very active for a GTP. Should I just wait it out? The she's is not in her eyes.

I would just keep spraying several time a day but use luck warm water. This will really bump the humidity up and should help with the shed.

Re: Help with stuck shed?

soak it in the bath and peel it off using your fingers,just keep an eye on the scales as you do it

or

use viscotears eye gell,KY Jelly or any other water based lubricant,just put a decent blob of the jelly on the affected area,it should hydrate the shed making it fall off or be easy to pick off


cheers shaun
