Hello,

Shedding sometimes takes awhile. You can give a few baths weekly, to help out with shedding. Or you can also try using some
aloe vera gel to help with stuck shed too. Overall he looks good, how is his appetite doing?

If I gave him the chance he would eat me out of house and home he’s super energetic and he loves cuddle’s and surprisingly he’s best friends with my cat

Hi there, can you show a pic of Merlin's tail ? And BTW, beardies almost NEVER have problems shedding but it may seem that way as older , mature dragons take a long time. Those areas will shed on their own so you don't have to be concerned at all but you can use a bit of aloe if you want, just be sure there's no added ingredients like alcohol. Unlike snakes that shed all at once, beardies can shed in stages that take a long time to shed, it's natural.

His tail is so much better than it was when I got him he couldn’t even move his tail it didn’t help he could even walk but I’ve followed everything my vet has told me to do and he’s the happiest boy now . I just get scared when I see things That I’m unfamiliar with

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
