DO NOT PEEL THE SKIN OFF.....you should let your uro or any reptile shed on it's own....if you force the shed and rip the skin off...it can leave scaring and hurt the uro.... if it's having a real hard time shedding...then give the uro a HOT soak....but not for too long and MAKE SURE the uro the FULLY dry after the soak....especially it's tail...as moisture left in the tail can cause tail rot....abd you don't want that...
