Unshed skin?

[Jonnyinga]

What can I do to help please with a stubborn shed on the tip of Blaze's tail? She didn't shed the last few inches during her last shed, and this shed it looks like it might not come off again. I've been bathing her daily for about a week now at the first sign of her shed to try and help, but not so much as one scale has come off it yet The last three inches is a fair bit darker than her normal colour. Starting to worry me

Sorry to hear about your girls problem.  I know you've said you've been bathing her daily, but i find with bigger dragons that sometimes they don't always keep their entire tail in the water. So first i would make sure that that is happening. You can always use a soft toothbrush to kinda scrub it a little as well after she's soaked for awhile. The skin MUST come off or she'll lose that part of her tail, especially if she had left over skin from the last shed. You should always get all of the skin off. You can try the Shed eeze stuff that they sell at Petco but i've never had much luck with that stuff. Try some mineral oil on it. Also are you sure that it is just shedding issues? Could you post a pic of it?

Yeah, i've been holding her tail under the water. I'll give the soft toothbrush a go tomorrow after her bath. I'll take a pic in an hour or two. She just ate and is basking happily right now lol.

Sometimes the tail just takes longer J.
My girl peaches shed her whole tail but the last 4 inches.
It just now came off and this was 2 weeks after the rest of the tail.

I'll keep giving her the daily baths then and gently massage it with the soft toothbrush. But now I have another problem. Since she started her shed she's been going kinda crazy running up and down her tank, head down against the glass and clawing to get out. I've put down non adhesive shelf liner and a shirt to soften it for her, but she's got a tiny red spot on her foot, it looks like she tore a scale off. Is it neosporin I should put on it?
