Yeah, that was my first thought too. He has had problems with that in the past once or twice, but I've tried all the old tricks, and there's no skin coming off (and to be honest, I'm not even sure there truely is any skin stuck there this time). Also, he's usually pretty okay with the pressure on his tail to aid in the skin removal, but this time he's super sensitive about it. He's never really been jumpy, but touch his tail now, and he's jerking away as fast as he can!
I just don't know. At this point any speculation (no matter how far out) is welcome. I just hope the little guy's okay.
For now, I guess I'll keep working with the incomplete shed remedies after he has finished digesting.
