With the tail - the issue was that there was not enough humidity for the skin to come off. What then happens is the old skin constricts the bloodflow and will kill the tail.



To get it off I would soak the tail in water (holding the lizard) and very carefully tear the old skin and work it off. Has to be done extremely carefully or you risk breaking the tail.



The humidity chamber gives them a place to go with enough humidity to loosen the skin so it comes off properly when they shed.
