Hello,

Your post was not visible in Website comments which is probably one reason it was not getting any remarks yet.
It is very normal for a dragon that is not growing much anymore to shed in just a few areas here & there. That happens when they get a little older & are not growing rapidly anymore.
You can bathe daily to help with shedding during that time, for 15-20 minutes, on average.
She will eventually shed, so try not to worry quite yet.
