Hi All,
Below is my new terrarium 36"x12"x18" and baby Bearded Dragon named Hamlet. He is currently shedding for the first time since I had him and I am having a few concerns.
Some people say they need a special moss to help shed but other breeders say they don't.
Do I just leave him be until he is done or what should I do?
He isn't eating much but I understand that is normal for BDs when shedding. (should i take the crickets or the dish with collard greens and meal worms out?)
Terrarium Setup: basking/ hiding (cave), a log for him to crawl around on, a bowl with
lukewarm distilled water and a little dish of collard greens mixed with meal worm. 4 or 5 tiny crickets dusted in calcium. Above the terrarium I have a uvb bulb as well as a 100watt basking light giving about 105F on the basking rock and roughly 80F on the cooler side.
Any professional or experienced hobbyist advice will be greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure my little buddy ends up living a long and healthy life.
Thank you in advance.
