Hey guys, I got a question about something involving my beardie Nugget. This is my first time owning a beardie, and it's also my first time experiencing him shed his skin, but I'm not sure if him wiggling around is something he should be doing while he's shedding. His lighting is fine, so is the temperature and humidity in the tank, and he is 4 months old. Is it normal for beardies to wiggle around during the shedding process?

Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
Is he scratching his head on stuff rubbing his belly across the floor of the tank ? What do you mean wiggling around ?

When he's on his log he looks to be rubbing himself against the log, and I'm not sure if it means he's distressed or uncomfortable.

Hes itching-- especially if hes shedding--- spray or mist him in the tank -- when the shed becomes real loost and crackly spray him and take a soft baby tooth brush and gently brush him - it will loosen the shed -- DO NOT PICK IT OFF-- you can or will damage the scales

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?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
