Help strange patch on Bearded dragon? Don’t know what it is

[Dragondog45]

Hello I have a young bearded dragon named Bowser. She is around 10 months old and has a diet of crickets, mealworms and veggies. I usually keep her humidity low but recently the weather has made her cage humid above 40%. I am getting a dehumidifier to fix the issue. I have noticed this weird different color patch on her back and idk if it is shed or something I should be worried about? She is usually an orangeish brown and the patch is a light grayish color almost. She shed not long ago (about 2-3 weeks ago)so I’m worried whether she is sick.

Can you post a picture of her back? Also humidity above 40 is fine. A dehumidifier does come in handy, I only use mine when it’s above 50

Here is a close up of her back and a bit of her leg. She still moves around, eats well and just pooped in her bath as well

Oh thank goodness that’s a relief. I’m fairly new to beardies so I was worried since I wasn’t sure if it was normal if they shed like this and after just a few weeks after her last shed. My anxiety made me think it was scale rot or something. Thank you so much for your help!

Any question/thoughts are welcome All for our beardies! Yeah she’s still growing so it’s normal for her to shed in patches still.

yep. i agree it looks like shed. and as they get older, they shed less often, it's more patchy, and takes longer. you're not quite there yet at 10 months, more a heads up for the future.
