While bearded dragons don't require baths, it is helpful to bathe them under certain circumstances. Some reasons why a bearded dragon might get a bath include the following: hydration (only if your bearded dragon prefers to drink bath water) hygiene easing a particularly uncomfortable shedding...

The best way to hydrate your bearded dragon depends significantly on your beardie's personality and preferred habits. For example, some bearded dragons have no problem drinking straight from a water dish in their enclosure. However, many bearded dragons ignore their water dish, likely because...

The ideal relative humidity in a bearded dragon enclosure should be around 30% to 40% during the day. In most homes, relative humidity goes up at night, so aim for the humidity levels to be at most 50% to 55%. Always keep the relative humidity above 20% to 25% if possible. However, it is...

There is a wide variety of bearded dragon substrates and much debate within the bearded dragon community regarding which substrate is best. The choice frequently comes down to personal preference, cost, the personality of your bearded dragon, and other special considerations, such as your...

So sorry to hear about Simi! So hard to lose a pet! Sounds like you did a lot to help these little guys. In humans, a high white cell count sounds like an infection..maybe the same for reptiles? I'm sorry that the vet wasn't able to save Simi!

Thanks for helping out on this one!

Could it be related to something the beardie ate? Does it come off if you bathe the beardie?

Yeah that looks like shedding to me. I wouldn't mist her since beardies come from arid parts of Australia and don't need misting. You can give her a bath to help with the shedding though normally shedding comes off naturally too. She is so cute!

@AHBD does this look like anything concerning? I'm afraid I haven't seen this before.

Welcome! Artemis is a cutie. Here is a similar thread that I believe answers your question. https://www.beardeddragon.org/threads/ready-to-start-taming.257380/

@CooperDragon @Claudiusx Do we know anyone familiar with bioactive terrariums? I'm afraid I've never looked into them before.

The scales can definitely look a bit weird right before a beardie sheds. I would probably wait until the shedding is over to see what it looks like then. I don’t see anything particularly concerning. @AHBD, do you agree?

Sometimes the shedding process leads to some unusual coloration of the scales but just in case, I'm tagging a couple of folks to make sure it's not some kind of fungus since would be good to catch that early. @CooperDragon and @AHBD, any ideas?

I think you may be referring to gut loading crickets. If that's the case, I found a post where a very experienced member of our community discusses how he gut loads his crickets to make them more nutritious for his beardie. https://www.beardeddragon.org/threads/gut-loading-help.258556/ For...
