Just make sure the humditiy is at the proper level to ensure proper shedding. An extra bath/shower wouldn’t hurt either. And yes, as it was stated, DO NOT PULL THE SHED as it will leave scars. Also, be sure the shed does come off around the toes, spikes, and tail end. I make sure this comes off in a bath.
