One of my beardies seems to be having a hard time shedding her back legs... I've tried soaking her, is there anything else I can try?

applying baby oil helps loosen the skin. Providing it doesn't appear the skin is cutting into the toes, it will eventually come off on it's own. If the toes have not shed adn you can see loose skin, you can carefully pull it off with tweezers, just be careful not to tear into the skin underneath or remove the shed if it isn't ready to be removed. Shedding can take several days to a couple weeks to be ready to come off once it hits the 'grey' phase.
