There are a couple of easy ways to do this. If she doesn't mind being held, you can use a wet q-tip to gently remove it. If she gets upset when held, then you can let her walk around in a pan of warm, shallow water for a bit, which should loosen the shed. :D

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
