Help with shedding?

[shrambo]

So my new beardie looks like this now:

I know I've read where you should never peel their skin, but seriously. look at him. he's jjst got that giant piece stuck on him? can I try peling it off? or no..?

Don't peel it....you can pull some off that its not ready and do s lot of damage.....nice looking dragon you got tho

 

[tgolden]

Put him in a warm bath and that will come off

Beautiful leatherback you got there. Like tgolden said, don't peel it. A warm bath will work wonders!

do NOT peel, do NOT pick. It would be like someone pulling off your peeling sunburn and taking some of your healthy skin with it around the edges if the scales aren't ready. Do what wilddanny suggested. Warm bath...you can soak your beardie 20+ mins. What's meant to come off will. Sometimes a supervised run around will allow some to fall off, too. My girl is getting ready to shed again too & boy is grouuuchyyy! It's a long warm bath for her tonight sometimes the shed won't come off in a bath, but it's help tons & usually when it dries out after you'll find all kinds of shed layin around the viv. Just pick up the chunks. All will be good they may be crabby little things on the way to the bath, but they'll be thankful after for sure!!
