Shedding

[3llie]

Hi, my beardie seemed to be shedding a few days ago, but it looks like it’s stopped now….. Is it normal to look like it’s going backwards? I know that’s not possible, but instead of lifting, her shed looks like it’s blending back in again? I didn’t see this happen with her tail or legs….

Lights, temp etc are all good.

Pics attached the wrong way round, the one on her basking decor is from a few days ago and the other one is her now

This is exactly how it goes with my 5. Don't blink it will all lift off very soon.

It is literally don’t blink!!! She stayed like that for a few days including this morning when she woke up. Looked again about an hour later and she was like this!

Take and mist her and then get a soft baby toothbrush and gently brush the loose skin / shed off -- she will feel better

She had it off herself very quickly. Was so hard not to help her but I didn’t want to risk hurting/damaging her. I gave her a quick bath after and she’s been in a brilliant mood since, running around investigating everything and coming up to the glass watching me work (she’s never don’t that before ).

Will order a baby toothbrush though incase she ever needs some help in the future. Would you recommend misting her after/during shedding rather than a bath?

What ever is better for her- some do not like baths and its easier to just spray in the tank and use the toothbrush -- it scratches them when you brush and since they are itching they seem to like it --
