They will continue to shed even as adults but not nearly as often.

I have two bearded dragons.
Saphira is 1 year old and finally came out of brumation about 3 weeks ago. but I haven’t seen her shed yet is that normal? And when do you think I will see her shed?
Ember on the other hand is 6 months old and all I see from her recently is that she gets dull in color for a day and goes back the her normal color or even darker sometimes. I’m confused what’s going on. Can anyone explain? And can you maybe tell me when I should expect to see her shed?

It's hard to say for sure. They shed at different rates both between eachother and against their own past sheds. Sometimes, especially as they get older, they shed in odd patches and even a single scale at a time. Unless you see a shed that seems to be cutting off circulation around the tail or fingers they'll just kind of do their thing in their own time and there isn't much to do or worry over.

Sometimes you'll see swelling beyond this area or if it's advanced the area beyond it will look black or shriveled. It's not common but it's something to keep an eye out for.
