I really need some help! My baby has some white skin on the tip of her nose and also over one of her nostrils is it shed? Should I be worried!? Any help would be great!!

LOL your baby is starting to shed.. All is good no worries you can give her more freq warm soaks in the sink/tub to help loosen the scales but don't pull them off, most dragons shed in pieces not all at once.... And don't worry if she eats the shed that is normal..

Thank you so much I thought it could be shed but it never went over her nose like that before! I was getting so worried about her

She's going to get "nose plugs", don't freak out and don't pull them out. It's just bits of shed skin and they are going to look like little bits of Kleenex sticking out of her nose. They will come out on their own.

Yea her face is going to look like the driest/crustiest lips you've ever seen lol at least that's wat my 6 year old son n 12 year old sister agreed lol

Thank you all so much for your help, I have put some shedding aid on to help keep it moist all I can do now is keep an eye on her

Yea I keep a spray bottle filled with water n I spray Yoshi in the mornings after lights come on and again abt an hour b4 they go out then when he sheds I spray him 3 or 4 times throughout the day n he sheds fine.....I've never used a shed aid tho

They will rub themselves on items in their enclosure to get their shed off, soaks in the sink/tub help alot. Mine is in process of shedding and her face/lips just finished she rubbed on her wood ledge and some rocks she has in her tank.

2 of mine are shedding at the moment. Last night I gave Dolly a coconut oil bath and rinsed her off real good. This morning a lot of it loosened up . I have to take a picture of Dexter, she looks SOOO funny! She is shedding a strip on her neck and head, it's nowhere close to coming off yet.

Beautiful baby btw, all 4 of mine are shedding, which shows natural growth.
I have 1 that explodes with shed being rubbed off I sheets with a soak making her feel better. I use shed ease in water, it helps ease discomfort.
They look dingy and white as shed lifts off, all normal. I find fingers, toes and in baths large pieces of shed.

Good job, means your baby is growing and this is normal.

Thank you so much I was getting worried! She about 2 year old now she was a rescue she hasn't shed in about 5 months which I thought was odd but she seems to be back on track now
