Beardie is eating his own shed skin.

My beardie who is 3 months old just ate a decent chunk of skin that was shed. It was about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
I think he has been doing this all day, as that was the only piece I found. Should I be worried? Will he be impacted?

No, he'll be fine. Some beardies do this. It's kind of weird, but not really anything to worry about.

It's actually a pretty normal thing for many lizards to eat their shed. It's a feral instinct- If predators don't find your skin, they'll be less likely to find you. It won't hurt him any.

Thank you so much for your replies! I had never been warned of this and panicked!
