socks and gloves

[cornsss]

We've got two juvenile beardies who are having a bit of trouble with their sheds. They've both retained skin up to their elbows on both hind legs and fore legs. As well, their tail skins haven't really budged.
As far as furniture goes for them to scrape against they've got a bubbly pumice like rock and some driftwood. Temp ranges from 95 to 102, and they've got a water bowl and daily misting.
We've tried warm baths but the skin just won't budge . . . anyone have any thoughts?

i read a post about shed, not long ago, eyespy should be able to help you out, but i heard somethinga bout using soap im not sure

Isn't 95F way too hot for a cool end? And 102 too hot?

The cool side is definitely too hot, should be more like 78-82 but a basking spot can go as high as 120. A little aloe gel rubbed into the retained shed can help to loosen it up, especially if applied after a 20 minute warm soak.

sorry, wasn't thinking when I posted originally, double checked the tank temps and in the cool end it's 82.9, 123.2 in the basking area, and 96.8 in the hot end

thanks for the tip about the aloe gel Eyespy, I'll give that a try after their bath tonight.
