Please Help! My Leopard Gecko Shed When I Was At School!!?
I knew he was going to shed when I got up this morning and when I got home from school he wasn't in his hide and he had shed stuck pretty bad on all of his feet (He's about four and a half inches now), so I put moist towel under his main hide and got him to walk in there. He got the shed off of one foot and most off the rest, but he lost two toes because of shed stuck earlier that he refused to let me remove. All the other feet had at least one toe with shed stuck from the previous,and he hasn't gotten it off yet. I know that the skin was only constricting on one toe and none of the others, and I have heard leopard geckos are very bad at getting stuck shed off their toes and can bite them off. I REALLY need someone to tell me what to do! I don't want it infected and it doesn't want to walk around in its terrarium. I don't want him to get even worse!!
Right now, I need to go to bed, so I can't clean off the toes because I just found this had happened when it tried to walk out of its hide. PLEAASE share experiences and advice!!!

I would take him to the vet, they have experience getting the stuck shed off. Do you have a moist hide for him? Also soak him in an inch of lukewarm water. Good luck :)

You do need to clean the toes. Wet the toes. Try using tweezers to carefully remove the bits that are stuck.
