why do beardies take so long to shed ????? ???

Several things come into play here.
Humidity levels, consumption and use of food, sometimes even limited space can contribute, as well as the age of the dragon.
Hope that helps out !

Then it's just a matter of time. Honestly mine don't shed all that much anymore, other than Annebelle, who is still a juvie.
Orion and Gem are down to one shed every few months, Yardley is down to two thus far this calendar year, but he is close to the two year age mark.

Shedding can take up to two weeks for a full nose to tail shed at times, or longer.
Yours at 4 months should be in that two week or so range, according to what mine did at that age..
Hope that helps out !
