i am just feeding my royal and i have noticed that there is afew little patches of scales left since her last shed on 29th July. (i dont handle her much)

there is not alot but was just wondering if they need removing or just leave them till next shed.

if so how do i go about removing them?

Give her a nice warm bath, then wrap her in a towel and let her squirm her way out, if she's had a nice soak and the towel has been wrapped about enough, then the act of getting out of the towel should do it. Obviously be a bit more careful if there's any stubborn bits, especially near the tail.
