Retained shed on my little girl

Kingofspades Apr 17, 2005 11:33 PM

Ok, my little hatchling shed for the first time, and she has some retained shed left on half her body and a little on her head.
I cranked her humidity up to like 75% by putting a damp towel on her cage, and i've soaked her a few times...and it doesn't want to come off.

Will it come off in time? Should I peel her?
I don't want to hurt her or stress her out...
But I want her to eat and from what I knew it was after first shed.

Thanks in advance.

Let her go till her next shed. I just did this with a female, and she was fine after her 2nd shed.
