2 different dragons 2 different issues-shedding+poop.

Hello! Thanks all for taking the time out to read this.

Issue one-I have a boy who is 4/5 months old and seems to be stuck in a shed. His entire head is ghostly white. It seems like at any second his old skin is going to just rip right off of him, but the problem is that it hasn't. He has been in this preamble for about a week now. Should I be worried?
He eats a ton of greens and crickets and gets a weekly bath. He's a very active boy. Recently I have switched him to a Powersun 100w, anyone know if this could have any play in this?

Issue two-I also have a baby beardie that can only be about a month or so old. I rarely see the baby eat, yet he/she poops non-stop. He has pooped 3 times today! And they are of decent size compared to his body. I have no idea if this is normal. My older guys poop every 2-4 days, so 3 times in one day makes me think I'm doing something strange? He's been under the stresses of moving a few times, but I thought stress would make them poop less?...who knows. Is this good or bad?

Holy cow. I lied. FOUR poops!

Mine pooped all the time when they were babies too. I wondered where it came from as well. I don"t know anything about the MVB's but I had a reptisun 10.0 coil (before I knew any better) that seemed to give my Puff a weird shed head. I noticed that something was wrong because she didn't seem to see her feeders. I looked it up and found that it could be messing with her eyes. A couple weeks and alot of baths later she was seeing well and her little beardie sunburn finished shedding.

When mine was 5 months old, it took him 2 weeks to shed off his skin on his back, so I wouldn't worry about it. I would give yours a bath more than once a week though. At least twice... They need to stay hydrated, and for a 5 month old, I think you should at least do it twice. I do mine on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I also have a 5 week old beardie I got from Petco. He eats MAYBE 4 - 5 reptiworms a day, however poops first thing in the morning and at least twice while I'm at work. So it's completely normal...

And my 5 month old poops maybe 2 - 3 times a week... they definately slow the poo down as they get older..
