My L.Williamsi is having shedding but it seems he isn't getting the skin off, I don't know what I should do, I pulled a little bit of it off and sprayed the cage more often not sure what to do he is my pride and joy and I don't want him hurt or even worse can anyone help me.

Humidity Chamber Prep to Assist Shedding

These guys are probably fast little buggers. Increasing the humidity in his cage and having something rough to assist his shed might help. You might be able to accomplish the suggestions below right in his current vivarium.

If you can catch him without damage, you might try these suggestions in a separate humidity chamber. Take a medium vented plastic container. Place a dampened washcloth in the bottom. Then carefully add the gecko. Place this near a lamp---not too warm. You will see droplets form indicating a rise in the humidity. The excess skin should come off easily now.
