How often should my 5 month olds shed?

[ZoieAnne]

I just got them on Saturday, did a bunch of stuff, a lot of time and money later I now have 2 beautiful homes for my babies! Nooooow, how often should they shed? I'm trying to get Spidey to grow more (he's only 10 inches and almost 6 months) And Tupac is regular size but I must know, how often should each of them shed so I can keep them on track I want my babies to be healthy!!!

All beardies are different. They shed in different places on their bodies at different times. Mine shed every few weeks, then the shedding slowed down, then started again... Babies can shed once a month or more, but as i said all are different and it depends on their growth rate. they can also have growth spurts, so i wouldnt worry about Spidey's size- size can depend on genetics but small doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy. At 5/6 months old, mine was only 10 inches too. Now at 7/8 months old she is 15 inches. Not sure if you know this, but when they shed give them a warm bath, water level below shoulders- this helps the shedding along. Also don't be alarmed if they loose appetite or become grumpy during a shed, this is normal

Dave is about six months around 11 inches, he hasnt shed in over a month, but recently he she his lips. It makes me happy when he sheds on his head cause i want him to grow and have a big wide head.
