Hi,
Shedding isn't a fun thing for a beardie, it usually itching and uncomfortable. Since this part of the head has been grey for awhile some of the things that you can do are: Do not try to help it along by pulling the skin once it begins to tear, give baths to your beardie and use a soft bristle tooth brush. You can also use olive oil, or coconut oil on the skin that is going to shed soon. This should sped up the process of the shedding on that stubborn skin...

Thanks for the advice, I just worry that it isn't shedding, nacho is my first reptile. So when something like this happens I get a little nervous ya know?

I am a hundred percent sure that is shedding!!!! Rub a soft toothbrush on the grey skin and some olive oil.One morning you will wake up and the skin will be loose.

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
