i have an albino leo gecko and when she sheded last week little bites of skin were still attached to some of her toes. i tried everything im supposed to to get it off. i spray her den that has moss in it every day and i bathe her in warm water. the skin wont come off and it is turning red and swollen and looks like it is bleeding. someone plz give me advice?

Give her a soak in warm water and then try to pull it off with your fingers. Sometimes when it all comes down to it it's better to get it off early even though it will probably hurt the animal than leave it on and let the toes fall off. Be gentle but make sure you get it off, you can also try using tweezers.
