The first thing you need to consider is why your leo is having problems shedding. While I agree you should be able to help him if he needs it, the underlying problem is why he can't shed himself. You didn't specify if you use a humid hide in your setup. Very important to give him enough moisture to slide out of his skin. Or perhaps you do have a humid hide, but he is lacking items to rub against. Sheds can be very time consuming and wear the little guys out, so it can take hours, or maybe all day. I wouldn't worry about helping him unless you see him leaving small amounts around the toes. Once the majority of the skin is off they won't worry about the bits wrapped around their toes.. which can cause blood flow to stop and the toes to die. Now, once you've fixed those problems if he's still having trouble.. use a pair of tweezers and just gently pull the skin back.. almost like rolling a glove off of your hand. It shouldn't be stuck or hard to pull off.
