Hello! I've only had my dragon for about 3 weeks now, and she's shedding for the first time with me. She's about a year and a half old.
I'm unsure if it's normal or not for a shed to do this or if it's a different concern or a concern altogether, but her back legs are getting darker. The skin on her legs hasn't she's because yet FYI I think it's just getting ready to.
The first picture is the day I got her.. look at her feet. (She's missing three toes because when she was a hatchling her siblings were mean).
The second picture was taken today. Her amputated foot and leg has gotten darker, while the other leg has also gotten a bit darker. You can see some black dots in the tub behind her, I gently scrubbed her with a soft bristled tooth brush and that's what came off.. unsure if it's poop, other grossness, or stuff that shouldn't be coming off...
let me know what you think!

Pretty orange dragon. :) Colorwise, everything looks fine pertaining to shed. The feet may be a bit poo-stained. As you bathe her over the next week or so, gently stroke those areas with a toothbrush to see what else comes off.

If you have any questions about care, don't hesitate to post them her.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
