Hi one of my banded knobtails geckos shed about a day ago i checked him/her today and he still has the shedding on his head and around his eyes. I didn't want to try pull it off cause i didn't want to harm him. I sprayed him and the hide with water so it was moist thank you.
 
the spraying should be enough, however if you get really stuck shed, line a click clack (with a few holes in it) with paper towels, add enough water to really saturate teh paper towels, but obviously not so much that you drown the gecko, and put the wet container with the gecko half on a heat mat for a few hours. The steam should loosen everything enough that it can just be wiped off. :p
