Most likely. Mine shed his tail a couple weeks ago, then no sooner than the rest of his body shed, his tail looks like started looking pale again yesteday, so i think he's gonna shed again.

U can usually tell when they are about to shed. They get dull/grey looking, and their scales look shiney/waxey...especially around the spikes. Do you happen to know how old your beardie is?

She's pushing into 5ish months. No exact age since the guy had no clue. Told me she was three months when three months later I realized that was not even close to accurate, she was more like 3 weeks!! Anywho I'm assuming 4 going on 5 months. She just finished her second shed since I've had her. This shed took about two weeks total because it was patchy. Well lo and behold I get home from work and go to feed her and BAM! More nose shed boogies. Ive seen people say their babies/juvies shed back to back and I suppose Maggie is finally getting to that point.

It's normal for bearded dragons to shed in patches, unlike snakes. If you think about it, that figures, since they can't pull it all off in one piece like a stocking the way a snake can because they have arms and legs and fingers and toes, not to mention all those little spikey scales, which tend to be a sticking place.

(My first reptile was a snake so I had to get used to not thinking something was wrong when the beardie's sheds didn't all come off in one piece.)

It sound like Maggie is doing well -- lots of growing is what she's supposed to be doing, and the shedding goes with it when she outgrows her skin (including the "shrek boogers")

I'm sitting in the living room floor reading this and I swear to goodness I literally read your post and turned to look at her and what do I see? A "shrek booger". I laughed hysterically!

I grew up up with my aunt having snakes so that's what I was used to also. One big giant pretty shed. The time bewteeen her first shed and these sheds was pretty big and I was so worried she wasn't growing! I'm still convinced that she is on the smaller side(probably due to her care before I got her). My Family came over for Christmas and all were shocked st how big she is. I realized also that I see her daily so I didn't notice her growth as much
