Stuck eye shed

[avoidtheboyd]

So my gecko shed about two days ago and it seems that a very small piece of shed is stuck on the bottom corner of her eyelid. I am keeping a moist paper towel in her warm hide and trying to work on it with a q-tip with saline solution on it but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't believe it bothers her but I really need to get it off before I go back to school so that it doesn't cause worse problems later. Any advice is really appreciated.

Try gently squirting the area with a squeeze bottle of normal saline. Alternatively buy some contact lens insertion liquid, NOT the contact lens CLEANING solution.
