june is shedding almost all over, i took her out and she was like scooting everywhere and scratching her self. i put her back in her cage and she started puffing up her beard and scooting backwards, she fell off her basking spot. i havent seen her act like this ever. i dont know if it was a temporary thing because shes acting normal now. shes very active now, i dont know if im just paranoid or if somethings wrong😥 i uploaded a picture to show how much shes shedding

They are pretty clumsy, she was probably scratching her beard and just plopped off. Keep an eye out for black bearding or breathing hard. If neither of those she is most likely all good.

Normal on the black beard when taking her out is kind of subjective. Every beardie has it's own quirks so what is normal for one might not be for another.

Hello,

I agree, they can really have strange behavior when they are shedding! Hopefully once she
gets it all off she will go back to normal.

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.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
