Hello I was wondering if it is normal My bearded dragon is 5 months old and has not shed an part of his body in over a month. I don’t know what could be wrong with him. His tank is 105 cool side 80. I feed him crickets with calcium every other day and multivitamin three times a week and I give him a salad every other day. Idk what’s wrong with him

Hi Janey, beardies shed less frequently as they get older, nothing at all to worry about. They also shed in very unusual stages so don't be surprised if pert sheds while others don't.

All depends on how fast he is growing. Sometimes they go through growth spurts and don't grow for a bit, and sometimes they grow slow and steady.

How long is your 7 mo and how much does he weigh?

Their growth is also largely affected by proper husbandry and diet.

What I meant by proper husbandry was mainly in reference to your lighting and heat set up.

At 17 inches and nearly 300g hes definitely close to reaching his adult size. So it would be very common for him to not be shedding as much as he used to since hes not going to growing much more most likely.

So, I'd say you have nothing to worry about in regards to him shedding :)

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!
