Baby's first shed-advice please

[Andie]

My 3 hatchlings are doing well, but the oldest (age 5.5 weeks), is now shedding.

Is this normal for his age?

He's got shed skin on his eyes and I'm wondering if I should help remove it.
We do this for our gecko once in a while, that's why I was wondering.

Thanks!

It's normal for them to shed as they grow. They should be shedding every 3-4 weeks, especially the males as they grow quicker at that age. Do NOT help with the shed, it could damage the skin underneath if it's not ready to come off. Just let it happen, make sure he's getting misted as the water helps shedding.
