Gizzy is my first beardie and has recently started shedding. Some background info: He's a rescue from Craigslist I got in June. He is 2 years old and 14 inches when last measured. Thankfully he has kept a good appetite still, although he is a bit cranky which is totally understandable. It started at the beginning of this month. He has already shed skin on his stomach, a patch on his side, patches on his legs, some places on his face, mouth and beard. The ash colored skin has developed in new areas that haven't shed yet. I'm a little concerned by the fact his shedding progress has stopped. The skin is staying ash colored and tight. I've been misting the areas daily, but maybe I need to do more? I'm not sure. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated!

Here are pictures. He has been like this for quite a few days, probably going on a week now.

Here is his tail that I think might be rotting or have retained shed. If he has either or both, what should I do to treat it?

Hi there....he looks cute, and I don't think there's any tail rot, just uneven shed. You can bathe him every other day, mist him once or twice daily [ just lightly , don't get the tank real wet] and it should all come off in time. He's on the small side, and looks like a slight underbite, but it's good that he's eating well. Could you list your set up ? What brand + type of lights , tank temps., etc ?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
