I had a couple of Cresties hatch on monday,one has shed fine but the other has only shed as far back as it's neck,I'm a litte worried as it's toes are fused together.The Cresties are in a flora tud with an inch of damp moss peat,I've also tried soaking it in warm water but that has not done anything,any advise would be great.

Have you had them set up like that from the start?

Everything sounds ok, is there anything rough to help them rub the skin off a little (cork bark)?

Hi Thomas
Now this is going to sound really bad LOl but KY jelly does the trick on stuck sheds on gecko toes

We used to use that at the vets on geckos coming in with that problem

to remove larger pieces of skin i hav found that i went cotton be help to role it off, if that fails then put the gecko in a tub like u have got u can then leave it in there for a few hours to help the skin become moist so it shud just peal off

[baloo]

and who is gonna go to the shop and ask for the KY jelly?


i hope i never get into that predicerment
