Is this normal? My beardie Gimli seems to be constantly in shed. As soon as he finishes one shed, another starts within a few days. I was told he was about 6 weeks old when I got him at the end of Jan. He is growing really quickly. He was 16g and 8.5 inches when we got him, and in a little less than two months has increased to 150g and almost 14 inches. every time I feed him he eats like he is being starved and will consume 30-40 1/2" dubia and look for more. He doesn't seem overweight to me. He has a bit of a belly, but it doesn't drag the ground and he runs around pretty quickly. Is it OK for them to be growing this fast and shedding this much?

Hi there, yes they do shed a lot as they're growing. :) Like you said, some finish one shed [ as they shed in stages ] and start another shed cycle.

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?
