Stuck Shed Skin

[crazytanak]

I just got a little gecko a few days ago, and I noticed today she has some skin stuck to her toes on one "hand". They have already gotten dark, she has very little grip in that hand, and the fingers look kind shriveled. Is there something I can do for her or will she lose those toes? She seems to climb around just fine, but im worried if she loses the toes she might have a hard time.

when my juvies get stuck sheddings on their hands I usually wipe at it with a wet q tip. it may take a few tries, and some patience, (and gently pulling at it with some tweezers) but ive never had any that wouldnt come off using this method. I would keep trying untill its off though, because if it stays on too long the little guy will lose some fingers.

Thanks. I was able to stick her in a shallow dish of lukewarm water. After just a few moments the skin came off with simple wiping with a paper towel. The gecko was none to happy during the process. (I recieved my first 3 gecko bites). She seems to enjoy the extra movement of her feet though!
