My 6 month d beardies tail has gone a shade of white
It looks like its shedding but its been like this for going on 2 weeks now I've seen her shed body parts before and never taken this long to shed her tail is sensitive to the touch I try not to bother her to much but I noticed its sensitive to the touch baths don't seem to break up the skin its just like stuck
Now it could be nothing but I am a first time owner and have very little knowledge about these so good or bad any info is helpfull

That is what my beardie looks like just before shedding but only for a day or two. Never more than three. Not sure what is happening.

Its going into shed -- let the tail do its thing --- that is normal and it may take awhile for it to shed --- I never mess w/ shed until it gets dry and crackly and then I mist in the tank - the dragon will rub on things in the tank to get it off like his face or belly - mine will drag their bellys across their tiles to get it off -- NEVER PEEL OR PULL it off -- you can damage scales / and or get it bleeding then it can turn to infection --- shedding is a natural process and it should be left alone - the shed ease stuff they sell does not work and is a waste of money
