Eye Shed too early, should I be concerned?

Hello!

I have had my bearded dragon girl ROY for about 3 years and her shed has always gone smoothly. This time around however, with her whole face flaky at once, it seems she may have gotten too ambitious with her scratching as one of the fallen eye sheds was still soft when I picked it up off the floor of her enclosure.

None of her behavior has changed and the eye looks okay, but the new skin around the eye is much lighter in color than normal. Should I be concerned or is there anything I should do for that eye?

This is the eye she's having some trouble with. Across the top of the eyelid where there is still some soft skin is the area that pulled off.

It looks normal, but i bet it's bugging the heck put of her. If you hold your finger kind of close i bet she will use it for a scratching post lol 😁. If you try it use the back of your finger not the tip.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
