do leos like to be soaked in warm water to help with shedding, or is that just a silly question?

mine don't like to be soaked so i don't, its really not neccessary. Just provide a humid hide and if there is any shed left on the toes just skip the soaking and take a wet Q-tip to them.

No, most don't like it, but if there is stuck shed on feet and the damp Q-tip method won't work, soaking is fine. A humid hide should be provided and if kept moist all the time, there shouldn't be a problem, unless your leo has particular difficulty shedding. It is better to upset the leo for a little while during the soak than to lose toes or a whole foot to a stuck shed.
