Can a beardie shed too much?? He is ALWAYS shedding,,. help?

Monster sheds in sections, like most beardies, legs and tail, back, and head.. He literally never stops shedding, since we got him, there seems to be only a few DAYS in between the shedding cycle. . I've also noticed the top of his head is getting a little darker, it appears he has black "spots" on the top of his head... I'll try to post a pic of soon of his noggin..

Is the shedding normal? He is roughly 4-5 months old, and has been in a 55 gallon tank since we got him, in September. Gosh, I already have to replace the UVB light next month! should I do it early? I know you guys say "6 months" we got him the end of September..

I posted once about this because I had the same question. What I was told was that surfing is a good thing because that means they are growing and are healthy

My beardie is the same way, i was just asking someone this last week. She is a year old and never stops shedding, she is always shedding from some area of her body.
