OK, for the last three or four days I have been noticing my two year old corn constantly going back and forth between the two front corners pushing her nose against the corners of her viv and she's actually doing it right now. Sometimes she does this REALLY hard, so hard that the rear half of her body ends up pushing nearly all the aspen into mounds towards the center of the viv and some into the water dish. Yesterday I noticed some what looks like skin on her head and nose kinda trying to come off? I tried to get a picture of it but noting will show on a pic.
My question is this... she has not shed since 9/3/10 and usually sheds more often than that. Would you guys suggest trying to get this skin off with a wet Q-tip? Or just wait until she sheds to see if she gets it off herself. I wouldn't want to make it any worse. She is not even showing signs of going blue yet though. Just incase here is the last few times she shed. She is 176 grams and gets fed every 7 days according to the munson plan
now 2months later 11-3-10 and no signs of going blue
9-3-10
7-13-10
6-1-10
4-29-10
3-31-10
Added note.... The skin I'm seeing looks almost exactly like the pic of Fred in Nanci's post here except it's not that bad and only on the tip of her nose and very top of her head.

I'm going to try Naci's way with the plastic container and washcloth with warm water tomorrow morning. It's just weird because after all her sheds I have checked her and never saw anything left over.
