Crested Gecko retaining shed

Question
Hello,

I have three adult crested geckos: two females and one male.  They all live in a huge 75 gallon aquarium that I keep very clean and mist several times a day.  My house stays at around 73-75 degrees, so I do not have a heat source for them.  I feed them the Repashy crested gecko diet and give crickets occasionally.

One of my females is having a really bad problem with retaining her sheds.  The other two geckos never, ever have a problem.  For several months now, the female (a little over a year old) has been having problems shedding.  I tried increasing the humidity (though it seemed adequate if the other two weren't having problems).  I tried applying moist paper towels/wash clothes and helping get some loose pieces off.  She seems to have no interest in removing her old skin.  Huge pieces will be loose and she wont make a motion to pull them off... this goes on for days until I finally tug lightly and remove the very loose pieces.  She can no longer cling to the glass or my hand and she looks awful... super dull.  I worry that she has retained several sheds around her toes and that it will start to cause a serious problem.  

Other than her shedding problem, she seems in great health.  Very active (unfortunately only on rough/flat sufaces) and eats like a champ.

Do you have any advice for me on how to remove these old sheds?

Thanks,
Steph

Answer
You could try to soak her in warm water.  I would suggest taking a small sterlite container (like the shoe box size) and filling it with a very small layer of warm water.  Allow her to sit in it for about 15 minutes.  Remove the skin that has become soft and loose.  

You may have to repeat the process several times before all of the shed is gone.  If the water doesn't help, you may need to take her in to see a vet to have the shed removed.  Cresteds can loose toes from retained sheds.
