Do bearded dragons glass surf when shedding?

Hello, Is that a thing they do? I just want to know in case I have to figure out another reason for why he’s glass surfing. He started Saturday, I think. He laid eggs on Wednesday, so he was glass surfing before that. Then, he was fine on Thursday and Friday. He started shedding a little while ago before Saturday. Thank you!

She laid 21. She is no longer digging. She dosent seem to be glass surfing all day. It was probably for like 30 minutes- 1 hour so far for today. I think I’ve seen her bask more.

Glass surfing because of shedding would be new to me. Usually they don't really like to move too much at all when shedding...

Ok. Thank you! I’ll try to figure out the reason why then!

Do you get her out? What size tank is she in?

He hasn’t been doing it too much. He’s been basking more than he sheds everyday.

Did you get a bigger tank? If I recall right her old one was tiny....

40 gallon. No, he hasn’t been out. He don’t really like it out though. It makes him upset.

No i didn’t get a bigger one yet

I meant glass surfs not sheds. Sorry!

You should address that, 40GAL is for a baby. 120 GAL is the minimum for an adult imo...

Ok, I will very soon. Thank you! Do you think that’s probably the reason for the glass surfing then. He seems quite annoyed with the shedding. He keeps scrapping his head and stuff.

That is normal and also probably doesn't like to be touched or bothered.
Glass surfing means she wants out of the tank and that means something is wrong with the tank or inside the tank.
You need a bigger one for sure and she probably will be much happier with a 120G
