They tend to shed in parts of the body rather than the whole thing. Wen u say sheddin again do u mean same part?

 

[patmc81]

She was completely done shedding 2 weeks ago. And when I woke up today she was shedding again.

 

[diegothediggy]

Strange maybe she just growin fast have u measured her?

 

[patmc81]

Yea she is about 8.5 inches now

It's not bad. My little one is in constant shed. Tail, legs, face, body, when that's done it starts all over again!

 

[patmc81]

Just didn't expect it to start again so soon

No worries. Totally normal. When mine was a juvenile, I felt like he would shed once a week. It was crazy. He ate a lot and few fast though.

 

[hey where's Perry]

I noticed that when Perry is shedding especially around his head he will scratch his face against a piece of wood in his cage. I also soak him in a warm bath which really seems to help the rest of the skin come off

Luci did that when we first got him and he got a sliver in his nose! I kept trying to get it and he would just run and run from me. Eventually it fell out with the shed skin. Over the weekend he was shedding his back and he kept rubbing it on the glass it was a real interesting and sad thing to watch. He has things to rub on but insisted that the glass was going to help him the most. He's such a nut!

That's good (the baths). I wouldn't worry about the rubbing on the wood. But I would definitely keep my eye on that. You don't want your beardie hurting himself buy cutting himself on the wood (seen it happen before). Make sure all the pieces are filed down and nothing is sharp.

My male had been shedding loads too, as soon a he sheds he starts again few days later, think there just growing

 

[diegothediggy]

Yeh i thought that 2. There always seems to b some part of Diego thats either peeling, lighter coloured, shedding or getting ready to shed. Just shows how fast they grow. Diego had a nice bath this morn and by the end of the day his whole bak had come off just waiting for the tail and belly now

Shedding is going to be one of those unexplained things! After shedding her right foot and her vent, left leg and patch of tail. Dexter is now shedding the top of her head and her neck! A few weeks ago it was just her mouth!

Diego n Dex really r 2peas in a pod. Its scary they that much the same
