[cmapplebeck]

so here is a pic of my beardie, im not quite sure if this is what skin looks like before a shed but i know that his little hand is just about done shedding so i thought i would ask you guys. the dark spot around his eye is the normal color.

Ok good I was worried

How long do you think it will take him to shed it cuz he has been this way for almost a week now.

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...

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.
