[tempest]

Where are the bits of skin James? If there's still some left on the tip of his tail you should definitely soak it and remove it so it doesn't cut off circulation to the tip as it grows more (which I've read may lead to the tip of the tail falling off... someone correct me if I'm wrong). I've had to do this a couple of times with my DP when he didn't shed fully. I actually just soaked some paper towel in warm water and then held that on the end of his tail over the retained shed, after 5 mins it should be moist enough to rub/peel off with your fingers.
