My leopard gecko has stuck shed after its first time. What to do?

Question

I’ve had my leopard gecko for 3 weeks now and he shedded for the first time. I’ve noticed his skin is pretty dry but he’s eating and pooping fine. He’s not used to me yet and is just getting used to crawling over my hand, so I can’t get it off myself yet. I don’t know what to do.

You can soak him in a warm bath for 15-30 minutes to aid in shedding. Also, provide a moist hide on each side of the tank during sheds. This is done by adding moistened moss to the hide. The increased humidity aids in shedding. Do not pull any loose shed off by hand. That may cause injury.
