in the future, you can put the gecko in a paper towel lined deli cup with a very shallow layer of lukewarm water and put the lid on. leave it in there for about an hour or so and if you need to, you can use a damp q-tip to gently rub any remaining stuck shed off. i also bought a micro-tweezers with magnifying glass, if you have steady hands and are very careful, this tool can be a great help. if a gecko has shed on for more than 24 hours, you will need to manually remove it or it could seriously injure or kill the hatchling.
