How Long For An Adult BD To Fully Shed?

[SKM73]

So our BD Rex is about 16 inches long, he started shedding about 7 days ago. His old skin turned gray and has completely fallen off. Everything but his head. It is still gray and I don't see any signs of it loosening and wanting to come off. We have been giving him a warm spray every morning too. Is this ok? Is it something serious? Thanks alot.

Most beaded dragons shed in sections or bits and pieces and sometimes only shed parts of their body during a given shed. There is also no set time frame for the shedding process. Just let it happen as it will in its own time. The only exception would be in the case of if you notice a piece of shed cutting off circulation to a limb.
Daily soaks or mistings are really not necessary or in the dragons best interest. These creatures are dry climate desert dwellers and are not designed to be frequently wet.
A simple 20-25 minute soak in 105 degree F water once per week is plenty sufficient. During a shed one extra soak is plenty to help ease the discomfort of the shedding process as well as help that process along.
Hope that helps answer your question.
Enjoy
