Just a quick couple of questions for you experts out there. Our 6 month old BD is shedding his skin for the first time since we have had him

he has gone a paler colour ,is that normal?

he is a little less willing to be handled, I assume this is like a snake would be?

how long does it take to shed his skin and any advice please?

thank you all.

Hi
Yes when they shed they do get a pale and cloudy look and many can become a touch grumpy during a shed :D As for a timeframe they are all different.Younger beardies tend to shed frequently and quickly but as they get older the sheds are farther in between and take longer to complete.If you want to help the process out then you can increase the frequency of baths but whatever you do dont pull the shed off as it could injure the scales.Good Luck :D

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
