hi there, i have my beardie a year now. i was told at the pet store he was 2 years old when i purchased him, which if correct, he is 3 now. during the first 5 months of getting him he shed 2, maybe 3 times. now he has only shed once since december. how often do older dragons shed ? if anyone has a beardie that is 3+ could you share your experience. he has been turning a duller colour, especially tail and head over the last week or two so im expecting another shed soon. temps and humidity are all correct along with daily baths for hydration so im wondering just how often they do shed.

Juvie beardies will shed as much as they grow, and often, I am sure you know that. However as they mature and get older they will not shed as much. Once a beardie has reached maturity they will only shed "about" twice a year, but every beardie is different.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
