Stuck shed on nostril

[StellaG]

Looks like Stella has stuck shed on her right nostril. I tried to gently brush it off with a q tip but it only lifted from one side and seems not ready to come off all the way. Do I just leave it? It’s been over a week since her otherwise full shed.

Its a mushroom, bearded dragons actually shed the inside of their nostrils, you HAVE to help get a tweezer and gently pull it, if it doesn’t budge its not ready, and just wait.

I use the repti shedding aide in this article on my girl. It's almost like a conditioner in a way

I thought they were dry shedders and do best with low humidity no?

They are, but there are safe ways to help them if their shedding gets stuck because as tempting as it is you really aren't supposed to pick it for them. I also know if you do have to assist them while they're shedding, to never put them back in their enclosure unless they are completely dry.

Update: I used a q tip and gently rubbed over it and it popped off with a little dry piece that was inside the nostril. It came off very easily after all. Good to have some ideas for future in case there are shed issues again. Thanks.

I’ve seen videos where the shed covers the nostril and when the owner pulled it because it was there too long, had like a 2 inch booger hooked to it. They shed the inside also. Just to prepare you if it happens again.
