Concerned about shedding

[Lindsy_G]

My Beardie is about 8 mo. old. He eats just about anything you put in front of him and seems to be healthy and active. But He is constantly shedding. He will shed in sections. Tail, then head, then body, then upper leg front and back, then lower leg front and back....not necessarily in that order though. One part or another is shedding at all times. Is tis normal shedding?

Yes this is totally normal During their 1st year of life they are always growing and since their "skin" doesn't grow with them they will shed as they grow. Yes they also do this process in segments this is normal too.. Mine shed's tail then legs then tummy, back then top head then beard. This will all slow down once an adult to maybe 1/2 times a year

And when they get even older it gets more annoying! Dexter sheds a TOE one week and then a small spot on her belly the next then a spot on her back etc. Luci just got done shedding the middle of his belly and a spot on his shoulder! It drives me crazy

Really?? haha that would drive me nuts!! I get really excited when Izzy is in the bath and a piece lifts off lol kinda wonder what her adult coloring will be.

Thanx....I used to have a python and he shed all at once so this was just a little weird to me.

Yep, today I gave Luci a bath. He's shedding his head, a spot on his jowl, a spot on his back and the very tip of his tail!
