Hi Melissa,
You should not need to soak the crested gecko. This is a good thought but is very un-natural to the animal.
Is the shed only around the neck- you can see it starting and ending right at the neck? Is it restricting at all on the gecko?
If this seems like a ring not attached to the skin, you may wish to gently hold the gecko and cut the ring off- very gently.
Otherwise, the very best way to help the animal with its shed is to put the gecko in a deli cup (with holes) and a moist paper towel on the bottom. Sitting in this cup, the shed should start working itself off.
