bearded dragon hasnt shed in over 6mths???

[rio_rat]

ive owned him for this long and hes only shed tiny bits.. is this normal?? how often should he shed? he baths often..

 

[spanna_spamload]

lizards shed in bits and pieces going on for days unlike snakes which shed in one complete slough.

 

[Serpentess]

That sounds normal. Lizards shed differently to snakes...

 

[rio_rat]

i know that but there has been almost nothing

 

[lloydy]

How old is he? and how big?
Sometimes once they reach a certain age/length they do shed less often.

If he's young, he may not be getting enough protein to help him grow.

 

[Serpentess]

Ah, how much are you feeding him and how often?
Does he have UVA & UVB?

i honestly cant remember the last time either of mine shed its been that long

 

[lloydy]

My guys shedding at the moment.
Its weird how they shed though, its taken a whole week to his 2 arms, and now his head has started to go..

its perfectly normal for an adult,...

Sub-Adult
He's only 10months old.. But his a big boy.

I find it a bit creepy? when his back sheds off in one peice, lol

[lloydy]
