Poor Shedding

Hi Guys

Two young blue tongues I had had a fight and one has several bite marks/damaged scales on his upper back, and the base of his tail near his hind legs. I have since sold the aggressive lizard, but the one I kept shed last week and these spots have not come off properly. I am giving him frequent wamr/luke warm baths and have sprayed his a few times with 'Aristopet Skin Conditioner Spray for Retiles'.

Does anyone have any further advice as to what I can do to help him shed?

Thanks,

- tommy

Poor guy.
It's quite common for it to take several sheds before the wounds look better, but to make sure everything comes off, I would take pieces of paper towel that cover the areas, soak them with water (or the skin conditioner?) and leave them on for a while, then gently rub the areas to get any loose shed off. Then just leave it alone. Next shed do the same.
