Unfortunately i've noticed that one of my leos is having problems shedding... she sheds the majority fine but this last shed has left her with skin stuck to her toes and it just wont come off at all. I've tried shedding aid, using a cotton wool bud and i've seen her walk through her water dish but it hasn't made a difference. Theres always a moist box in there too what she uses. Can anyone recommend anything else as she hasn't had a problem before with shedding and i'm worried about her maybe loosing her toes :(

Thanks
