Shed on nose

Postby Ohgeez » Fri May 05, 2017 5:51 am

Ive noticed the one place my skink doesn't quite shed properly is his nose, everywhere else falls off straight away but his nose retains some scales. I gently tried to rub it away but it didnt come off. Any advice, is it ok to just leave?

any sticks and other rough hard surfaces in his tank ? they love to have good nose run / scratch and given good surfaces they can get those hard to reach nose scales off by themselves.
