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

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