I need help ASAP (shedding?)

[Itaminotenshi663]

I have a year and a half old, female, bearded dragon that I got as a present from a very shady pet store. So especially when she was younger, she has always been my problem child when it came to getting sick but normally I’ve been pretty good with helping her heal. This time, her head, back, legs, and half her tail have gone pale and looking closely at it, it is not shedding. She’s still eating her salads and everything and a syringe feed her water to make sure that she is drinking but I don’t know what to do.

Your dragon is going into shed- she looks a little thin tho- what is the humidity in the tank? Analogs are inaccurate - you want a digital probe hygrometer placed on the center back wall- optimal humidity is 40-50% nothing under 20 or over 70% - this helps w/ shedding- are you using a coil uvb or a long tube fixture?

Hello,

Shedding can definitely be stressful for them. A few
baths weekly can help. If you have some aloe vera
gel or shea butter that can be put on the skin lightly
to help add some moisture too.
The shed will eventually come off.
