You should soak her in some warm water daily untill the skin comes off and if the skin still doesnt come off, give her a long soak and gently peel the skin off. n/p

You don't have to worry about it. Dragons don't always shed their entire body at the same time. You don't have to over soak her to make it come off. When it's ready, it will come off. A good soak, never hurts but you don't have to leave them in any longer than normal.
Hope that helps.

In addition to daily soaks for about 15 minutes or so, you can rub baby oil or vegetable oil on the spot to help loosen the dead skin.
