Different Colours on Head!!! Serious???

[AmyUK]

Hi all

I was wondering if you could help me, I have beardie who is nearly 4months old (I think) and I have had him (I think) just over a month, he has already shed once and has become a lot brighter, which I know is good, and normal

The thing is the last couple of days, half his head has gone a different colour, a lot darker and more like the colour he was before he shed!

I don't know if it is anything to worry about or not, I was thinking that he may be beginning to shed again and that the different colour is the his dead skin that is nearly ready to come off! I didn't really notice it to be a different colour before he shed before but he was a lot darker then so I don't think I would have noticed!

I am just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal (and if I am right with the shedding idea?) He seems fine in every other aspect, i.e. eating, sleeping and general behaviour!

Just wondering if you could help me, I am worried about him but don't want to have to take him to the vets if it is something simple and I am worrying over nothing??

I look forward to your responses and hopefully some help

Thanks

Sounds like a shed. Good thing, means he's growing

sounds like he is getting ready to shed. They typically shed in sections rather than an entire body shed.

That's great, thanks guys

I was pretty sure it was a shed, but I wasn't 100% sure and didn't want him to have anything wrong with him!

Least I will know for next time, hope he hurries up and gets rid of the old skin, I want to see if he is going to be even brighter again!!

give him a couple nice long warm baths to help speed that shed up
