Angry when shedding?

[patmc81]

Anyone else's Dragon get angry when they shed? Mine actually showed it's beard for the first time and opened its mouth!

Mine does the exact same thing. She also loses her appetite for a couple days.

 

[smokejunky]

Nah none of mine are.there only aggressive if there's food around lmao

All it has left to shed is on its tail. Just started doing it today, but I also haven't been handling it much because of the shedding

 

[Mattalie]

Imagine it like you are peeling from sunburn. Now imagine that on your entire body. Id be pretty annoyed too lol

 

[patmc81]

Lol I am Irish so I know what you are saying. Just thought it was weird because it hasn't happened before (first shed)

Plenty of bath and misting makes a happy shed

Misting and bathing will aid in the shedding. But yes most beardies get grumpy while shedding.

Haze is never angry so to speak, she seems more agitated than anything and jumps around loads & is constantly looking for something to rub herself on
Has anyone seen their dragons rub their heads against things when they're shedding? It's the cutest thing ever!

 

[patmc81]

Mine was just doing that lol reminded me of a dog rubbing there face in the grass

 

[burtsmama]

Mouth open also could mean he/she is hot. I'm sure you know the difference but when Burt is shedding and needing a mist he will open his mouth ..just a thought

 

[smokejunky]

I rub my dunners back when he's shedding.and he shakes like a dog when I itch it's spot hahah.coolest thing ever lmao

They tend to get bit aggitated when they are shedding as some places they cant get to like their necks so they rub against anything in site a nice bathe does help them but do not peel the skin for them atall it must fall off naturally. You may catch your beardie puffing out his/her beard whilst shedding being aggitated it is perfectly normal

Mine are funny, they get real HUNGRY! Luci is starting a full body shed right now and I put 20 crickets in her tank and I turned around and they are gone and she is looking at me for more! It's like she thinks if she gets her belly bigger it will stretch the shed and make it come off faster!

When Luci is shedding her head she loves when I rub it. You can feel her relax and she closes her eyes. It's probably the only time she sits still and lets me pet her!
