Hey all im new here and just picked up my beardie yeaterday evening been doimg alot of research and finally got one. Anyway the previous owner had her since a baby shes 2 now and always kept her on orange calci sand. :( im switching that first. The problem is her feet galf her legs and her whole bottom side are orange stained I guess you could say. Is there anything I can do or will she stay this way? Also she has some shed stuck around in some places I soaked her last night it helped some. Any other tips for this. Thanks in advance for any help

Good for you! The orange will go away in time. Don't peel the shed. try soaking her again in a couple of days. You can use a Q-tip to apply a little bit of oil – I recommend coconut. A little bit. Easy does it. Welcome. We love pictures

The staining will go away as she sheds. It might take awhile but it will happen. To help with the stuck shed, what Canicke recommended is a good idea. There is also a product called Reptile Shedding aid by ZooMed that works real good.
