shedding problem!! should i be concerned??

[korismail]

So, my beardie is shedding his head. He shead a big peice under his neck that i couldnt help get off. So i just left it. An hour or so later, i looked over and he was eating something white. i was thinking what the hell, i didnt feed him anything white... and i then i realizeed. He gobbled down his shedded skin way to fast for my to get it from him.

Is this ok? or is it gonna make him sick?

does anybody know if this is going to make him sick or not??

he will be fine. Some lizards will eat their shed. Nothing to worry about

nothing to worry about unless he is kept in unsanitary conditions, which i'm assuming he's not

Well, green anoles and even fiddler crabs will eat their own sheddings for extra nutrition. Anoles won't always eat it every time they shed but it shouldn't be a problem for your bearded dragon to eat. Like Nair said, if your dragon is kept in sanitary conditions it should be perfectly fine.
