what can happen when they shed asg, as you've already read about, is that a little tip of skin gets left on their tails, fingertips, etcetera. after shedding the animal continues to grow, and like a tourniqet, begins to squeeze and squeeze, eventually causing the loss of the toes\tailtip.
The best thing you can do is make sure that the humidity in his hiding spot is in the 70-90% range, and like emptyspaces said, misting once in the morning and once in the evening, whole tank, not just hiding spot.
If in the future you notice this happeneing, the best thing you can do is wet a q-tip with water and gently apply pressure around the chafing skin, and gradually work it off. the water helps it loosen up. be careful, go slow, and it'll eventually come off.
Be extra careful about incomplte shedding around the eyes! I had a baby lep get a really bad eye injury from my noobness and lack of removal at one time.
