    maybe put on a rubber glove-the thin ones, not the kitchen ones, and wet your glove and try to rub it off. i know it's stressful for him, but so is a stuck shed.

    Well, he was being super cooperative and sitting right up front for me so I sprayed a bit more and finally go the main piece. It was kind of funny because when I spray his back he lifts his head and lets me like he enjoys it, or appreciates the help anyway lol. There are a couple small specks left, but I am going to leave it now. He was hunting around the entire time I was helping him so pretty sure he's not stressed about it lol. I was able to get it with short quick sprays from different angles to finally loosen it where it held the strongest.

    On a side note... I have noticed since day one that his back is not only very ridged, but pretty unevenly so. Is that normal? Like he has the two ridges down the sides, but one side sticks out way further than the other and is especially noticeable sometimes when he sits like that with his head up and back straight. I wonder if all those bumps/curves/dips in that area makes the shedding process a little trickier and why he had an issue.

    I'd be too afraid to rub it off with a glove... I have never touched him because they said not to and I know it can hurt them. I have treated him VERY delicately lol. When I touch him with the soft chopstick I just ever so barely do it because I am paranoid lol.

    dart frogs do have weird skeletal systems, i would not be super concerned about it unless he is unable to function. glad you got some off him.

    What are soft chopsticks....

    I would leave him to his own devices on the shed. He will take car of himself. It is probably leftover shed from the last failed shed attempt. If the humidity in the tank is high enough everything should be fine.

    This could also be related to stress from him wanting to be in a larger enclosure, but I am just speculating.

    it's a chopstick that is super smooth and rounded vs the crappy ones that are like square and ridged lol. Just something I had that I use for nudging him aside if he's too close to the door when I need to get in there. I'll leave him. He really doesn't act stressed ever, but either way a larger enclosure is not in the cards right now.
