Well my beatiful baby blood is shedding its skin for the very first time. This is my first beardie so its quite a special time for me, i kinda washed my beardie earlyer today to help get rid of the dead skin but as i did so i held the skin while the beadie ran off - Therefor pulling mst of the dead skin off. His colours are amazing but im not sure if it was a good thing to do, should i remove the rest of the dead skin or let him get on with it?
 
Don't pull off any more skin! Let him take care of it. You can bath him to help with the shed but it's not a good idea to interfere further. Let mother nature take her course or so everyone tells me.

Yeah, "helping" can damage the scales permanently. Let him do it at his own pace.

Ok will do, He doesnt have much skin left to shed. Ill leave him to it, now i no so it wnt happen again. I just didnt want him to be unable to walk or see! he had dead skin stuck on his legs and i thought it would be difficult for him to move.

Nah, mine continue running around like mad no matter what's shedding. Don't even seem to notice really.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
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.
