My childrens hatchling has shed for the second time (first time with me) and he's gotten all his shed off except his tail. I sprayed him with some water, but is there anything else I should do?
Thanks  |

put him in a container with a soaking wet towell and leave him for a while, then if still there,
put him in a shallow bath

Okay, I'm an idiot, I used cold water. Is it okay to let it warm up a bit then take him off the mat?

? what do you mean?
put the whole thing on the heat mat?
just put him in warmer water and tip out cold, or just soak the towell in warmer water, it will warm up =)

wait till the skin is soft on the tail from soaking and you can gently rub it off, good luck!

So, he won't get it off himself? He doesn't like the little container I put him in. When I was putting him in his kept poking his head out, made it hard to shut |

Oh, okay.
I'll just keep him in the enclosure with a *warm* soaking paper towel  for a while and see how he goes |

His small container with the towel in it has plenty of holes in the top
And, for all extensive purposes, I don't have a bath :/
