Hello there,
My bearded dragon is currently shedding around his eyes and mouth. I think it's uncomfortable for him. Does anybody have any tips to speed up the process or make it less uncomfortable?

Thanks,
Hatchi

No speeding up the process let the shed do its thing - when the shed becomes dry and crackly spray him then take a soft baby toothbrush and gently brush him - this will pull the loose stuff off - make sure hes got some decor he can rub his face on to help scratch himself

I agree with this, i also personally let my buddy soak 3-4 times a week during shed. It helps to loosen up the skin making it easier to shed. I have a rock in my enclosure with soft rounded edges that my boy loves to rub his face on during shedding.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
