Hey! My boy Bentley is shedding. I just got him yesterday, and now he's in a full body shed. He's got a lot of stress marks D: why?!?! so my questions is : because he's too new to the house and I can't bathe him, should I just sprinkling some water on his back? Btw he's a baby.
Hi,
He is stressed because he is dealing with relocation stress, but he also is stressed because of the shed which are very uncomfortable. You can put some olive oil, coconut oil on his back and gently massage with a soft bristled tooth brush.
Aw, that is so cute yeah I have a log in his viv and just before he started shedding he rubbed his little head on it. I tried to give him a soak today but he was not liking it, and I didn't want to stress him too much so I gave him a dry and set him back on his log :/
When gently tugging at the skin you are tugging at scales that are still sensitive and can be pulled off. Which is very uncomfortable. Although you might not think that you are doing anything, its best just to leave it alone. And bath your beardie.
