i got a beardy that is almost a year old, and hasn't shed for 3 months on his tail or body. atm, his tail is doing a weird shed that is going scale by scale, (same thing that happened to his back.)and after the scales fall off, it is completely white under and the scales are still sensitive after 2 weeks, not sure what is going on with them, and not sure if it is something to worry about enough to take to the vet. figured i could find out more here.
info on tank setup--
75 gallon
tiles as floor,
he light running at 106f
has a uvb running half his cage.
eats romaine and carrots just fine along with crickets and superworms and poops fine,

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
