Do beardies lose scales? Or just shed? (Pics)

I have posted a couple months ago about this subject (it was Amber) and those scales seemed to resolved themselves. My Chubbs is a "fancy" morph (normal basically) and she brightens up after a poop and darkens outside but never has white scales.

Amber has scales that sorta seem to hang slightly and I'm unsure if I should help or if I should allow them to do what they do? She isn't shedding or anything they just seem to appear sometimes some large some small. I'm just curious if it's a normal thing or if I should consult the vet again?

From the pictures they look like bits of shed hanging on her. So if it is this nothing to worry about. If you would like them to come off quicker you can give her a bath but don’t pick them off, (if it is shed).

I see scales like that on Zen from time to time. He gets upset if i mess with them so i just leave them be. Best i can tell they kindda hang around until that area sheds again then disappear.

That's what I thought because they disappeared before but they are showing up again
