Hi, everyone! I was wondering if a more experience Beardie owner can help with Sandy’s pigment loss here. Is this normal shed or something else? Thank you!!
No problem, yeah they tend to shed in piecesAhhh thank you so much! I’ve been concerned because this is the first time it hasn’t been the entire head. At first I thought it was a burn, but it seems burns are black.
Anyway, thank you; you gave me some relief.
I agree normal -- let it do its thingJust shed it will come off naturally.
If you see this- Do you know generally how long the shed takes after their initial growth spurts? This area is still like this now- maybe a bit bigger. The process used to be her entire head or legs or body and would be over in a week.Just shed it will come off naturally.
Dragons shed in different places and different times --- sometimes it takes longer than other places --- just let it do its thing when you see it start to crackle and get real dry mist them in the tank take a soft baby toothbrush and gently brush them it will loosen it or come off -- you will see them rubbing up on decor in the tank scratching themselves -If you see this- Do you know generally how long the shed takes after their initial growth spurts?

Yeah like Sadie said, shed can happen in patches or they can shed everywhere at once, and it can take a little while for it to completely come off. Just make sure you soak them and use the soft baby toothbrush and it will come off eventually. Shedding is a sign of good health so there usually isn't any problems.If you see this- Do you know generally how long the shed takes after their initial growth spurts?
