Shedding causing breathing problems?

[A2PA]

I'm seeing people post about beardies breathing weird when they shed their face and neck, and mine seems to be doing it too. Drak will open his mouth and take a big breath (while inflating his chest) then let it out, his temps aren't too high because I've had my Viv set up the same since I got him months ago. he doesn't seem very lethargic and is pretty fine except for the breathing. I read maybe his nostril is shedding? or does he have respiratory? his Viv isn't very humid

i've read a few people on here posting that their beardies have nose plugs from shed so that could possibly be it.

Try not to worry to much if he's shedding his face that's most likely the reason just keep an eye on him and once the shed is finished if he's still doing a vet trip should be in order. However I'm 99% sure that it's the shed!

that's good to hear I'm giving him daily bathes, hopefully he'll be done soon

Our lil beardie is doing the same thing. SHed his whole body but is having a hard time with his nose. He is acting fine, and eating great, so im not to worried yet.

he's mostly done shedding, and it was his nostril shedding
I pulled a little tube of shedding out of his nose and he seemed to have stopped

Sasha had his nostrils shed too. Wish I had read about it before it happened! It surprised the heck out of me!
