 Two small shed scales.

The animal went through its first shed this month successfully. However there is on the tail two small pieces exactly the size of a tail scale diagonally adjacent to each other. Should I bother to put some mineral oil on the area or just wait patiently!

I would leave it be. If it’s still there at the next shed use the mineral oil.

Thank You! I thought it would be better to be patient since it was so little amount of skin to worry about, but I thought it would be a good idea to solicit some feedback.

It can take months for the tail to totally finish! Just ignore it! Most of the time the shed is just sort of sitting on the whirl, not connected. You do more damage by trying to put something on it!
