This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "bearded dragon not eating or pooping as often" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Benophia Unconventional Bulldozer - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to keep your bearded dragon safe minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.#Oscar

Maybe this was mentioned and I just didn't hear it in the video, but I have to imagine even if the shed's not ready to come off, brushing all over with a toothbrush might feel really good!

Yesterday I got my juvenile beardie in the mail and gave her a bath, and I noticed right away her nostrils were plugged, and I am so glad I noticed because I was able to clear her nostrils right away and she is much happier now.

Yeah that stuck skin the nose seems really annoying for them!! Glad you were able to help her out.

[@imsosneezy121]

I just got mine last weekend. She has a bone disease and needs extra care for calcium and such. She’s pretty active but doesn’t eat much right now and glass surfs a lot. So I’ve been having anxiety wondering if I was doing something wrong but noticed yesterday her face was starting to shed. And after researching I know now this is natural. I’m giving her a bath once I finish my work week.

Why would you pull his shed?!

Loose skin can be pulled. As long as your gentle and patient.

My bearded dragon is a juvenile who is about 3 or 4 months old, he was shedding in his face yesterday and would rub his face against the couch when we got him out, it’s absolutely adorable but i rly feel bad for him, it must be so itchy!

Can someone help me out my Beardie just pasted the stage where her scales were very clear and white and she hasn’t had any she’d come off and she is starting to turn back to her regular color. What does this mean.

[@lackin4337]

So I'm mixed with the comments and vid so if the skin is like she said stuck but is super easy to take off should you take it off or not I want to know because soon I will own one of these

[@HaruDoneYet]

Normally you want to help by giving a good soak and providing plenty of stuff to scratch on. Many keepers agree that the only time the shed should be removed by hand is if it is actual stuck shed (meaning it isn't coming off normally) or in rare cases if it will cause some problems. An example of this is if an eyelid shed detaches wrong and ends up flopping around and getting in your dragons eye, you don't want the shed itself to damage the eye and the dragon could easily hurt itself trying to get it out too. There are times when handling that shed might just come off due to the smallest touch though and thats normally ok

[@handsathome]

Hi, thanks for the video. Our beardie is about 2 months old. Have owned him for about 3 weeks and he shedded his entire back. He has not had anything to eat for about 1 week now. Is this normal during a shed? We noticed his tail and hind legs are shedding too. He looks thinner and is lethargic and not wanting bask. Is this normal?

[@writingisfun9842]

I've found mine sleeping all day, only moving to eat. But if he isn't eating at all? I don't know.

[@ttagg214]

My juvenile beardie has some on his tail that he cant scrape off should i bathe him and help him a little

[@MeetMarmaduke]

Yes, a bath would be a good idea! You can gently rub the stuck skin with your fingers.

Mines tend to eat less. Well it’s a baby barley a month old. Last week he shedded profusely I thought he was done. He’s been moody and skittish and now his chin has began to shed. Poor little guy. Atleast I think it’s a guy.

[@ryan7228]

Hows he doing now?

[@Dsmwarrior1996]

Ya, mine is shedding and became really ornery, like he's puffed his beard at me, he's opened his mouth at me and even flattened out and leaned his body towards me, he's about 1.5 months old and I've had him for about a week, whole tail shedding and parts of face and one side of his back, I was happy to find out it's normal behavior during shedding, and he's still eating so I'm happy lol

[@Imhungry36]

When mine sheds my stepmom always rips it off and i keep telling her to stop

[@thereptiledude7247]

You could have taken his toe shed off as well. If you have to pick and dig to get it off it WILL hurt him/her. But if it looks like that and it’s already cracking like that would have no difficulty

[@MeetMarmaduke]

Yes, it was removed.

[@yourmomsbikeseat2236]

I’m with my mother for a week and I left my beardies with my brother and he sent me a video of him peeling one of my beardies lose skin, what do I do for when I come back?

[@MeetMarmaduke]

Hi there! I hope your brother didn't pick off anything that wasn't ready to come off by itself. When you get home, I'd check their skin over for any signs of tearing or bleeding that can be caused by pulling off skin that isn't ready. I'd give them a warm bath every few days to make sure their skin is hydrated and take them to the vet if you see any wounds. Otherwise they'll probably be fine!

[@yourmomsbikeseat2236]

Meet Marmaduke ok thank you I already talked to my vet

[@ppawesome8530]

Picking off the skin is like picking at a scab, it hurts dont do it!!

When it’s ready like she said when it is crumbling or just about to fall off you can help it

I'm thinking about buying a bearded dragon, are their spikes actually sharp ?

Yes they are pretty sharp at the tip! But they are also flexible, so you can push them kinda flat. I've only been accidentally stabbed once by an overly excited Marmaduke who just happened to touch me at the right angle, it only drew a tiny drop of blood 🥲😝

Wild Will, mine just started her shed and I noticed she hasn't been eating as much. She's still eating but it's noticeably less. I went online and asked around and a lot of people have experienced the same thing. So if yours does lose some appetite during a shed it seems to be fairly normal.

Sal Fisher I did

[@reptiletailz108]

Well I agree she kept saying not to do it but then broke out the god damn tweezers like shit and at the end she was peeling that shit right off of it isn't able to be gently rubbed off and I mean exactly that like as I u were running ur finger down him or her petting or giving a lil massage that is it and u really shud do it in the bath only and even the nose which I know my little guy has a hard time with his nose holes too but all I do is use my thumb and rub his snout like I do every single day anyway an he usually pushes back if itchy and it will come off if it doesn't come off that easily it will scare him and u think yea right that isn't happening but I won't see it at first! By doing that u are actually stunting his color mother nature has a sure fire way of doing shit there is a reason that layer stays there until it just doesn't that is Bec it's using the fluid or whatever u want to call it to heal the new skin and when it's ready to come off it is not going to be hard u can run it fingers on ur baby like u always do I spray him down everytime I go in and see him dry while he is basking I am seriously saying this with no malice this is coming only from a place of love for the animal and the simple fact that I only know cuz I did it and it only took me one time to notice a duller spot where I had done a peel just like that and SERIOUSLY the skin was totally off but not off ya know and I started to see his color underneath looking drab!! It's not worth it trust me the way it happens in the wild is best let ur baby bask and spray multiple times throughout the day
