Checking toes after shedding

Hello! So, I have a relatively new blue tongue skink and he shed almost as soon as he got here, I dont want to freak him out or risk trying to handle him while hes still getting used to his environment unless medically necessary. Hes also pretty skittish about me getting up close since hes so new. Im wondering what the best way to check his toes is, if i should just just bite the bullet and bring him out of his enclosure or if i should just try to get close to him and really look.
