Shedding concern

[Lucas791]

My bearded dragons back has looked like this for a week and a half now, when will it start peeling?

Try soaking daily to help loosen the shed, if that doesn't help get Zoo Med Repti Shed, you spray it on them as opposed to putting it in their bath water. It works wonders!

My girl is shedding BAD every time we go near it she shakes her head

 

[Beardielizzy]

Does any one have any good advice on how to get the shed off beardies eyes and mouth and ears

 

[PatsyB]

Mouth you can rub with a baby toothbrush. Is it stubborn shed on eyes and ears? If not it should come off on its own. If it's really stuck maybe gently rub with a moist q-tip?

 

[Lucas791]

Put a rough brick in there and he rub it off himself if you mist him.

Nice long warm soak then stoke the face gently with a soft towel soft toothbrush. But dnt pick it u can damage the skin underneath. Just a gentle rub to help

Ok thanks guys! We've been doing baths everyday it is very stubborn and very thick shed! It was originally his whole head and most came off from her rubbing it off herself in her hut! Then we tried to help her with the rest we bought a soft bristle baby tooth brush and after the bath a gentle rub over it ! My only concern is at the very tip like above her mouth is so thick ' I will try th qui tip tho see how it works thank s

Like Patsy said......... Zoomed shed aid. It's amazing how fast it works. And can be sprayed right in eye socket etc....... It should be a must have for any herp owner.

Spray directly onto the beardie..... Than rub in with your fingers.... Do this once a day every day until issues resolved...... Than the next time you see signs of shed. Spray whole beardie and rub on.... It really helps and keeps skin nice and moist

Yea they will do that to get off the shed. It's itchy to them. Issue is though sometimes the shed is stuck or not ready to come off, so they end up taking it off with some good scales and then get sores.... This spray makes it very moist and really does work and help. I use it on all my beardies and now chameleons to aid in the shed regardless if they need it or not.... Makes the shed alot better and minimal stress to our beloved pets.
