Shedding question

[HunterGirl16]

Hello,

I introduced myself and my dragon, Sidney, in the introduction section almost 2 weeks ago and everything seems to be going great. I brought him home 2 weeks ago yesterday and was estimated to be 4-5 weeks old when I got him. He was 5.25" when I first brought him home, now he is 6.75"! Inch and a half in 2 weeks, that is crazy lol. The first 2 days I had him he went through a shed, looks like he had already started it at the pet store several days before. He started to go through another shed 2 days ago and started around his chin/mouth and beard. That has shed and I can see where it has stopped right before it goes to his chest. He hasn't shed anymore today. His colors on his back are looking a little dingy in color. I have been giving him a 10 min bath every day. Is it normal for them to start shedding then stop and for it to be a long process?

I've had Slick for about 6 weeks. He started out at 4 inches and is now almost 10. He sheds all the time! Sometimes just one part of him at a time. Sometimes it takes longer to shed one part. It seems to take him a couple days on his tail. So I imagine that's normal. Baths help.

Yeppers sounds normal to me.. Izzy sheds his back legs first, then come the front legs and then the tail.. After I get his cage all cleared of shedded skin, the process starts soon again and then comes his head and beard, then the body.. He's growing like a weed..

Yeah seems normal to me Boba Fett sheds in different spots at certain times, first his tail then his head and legs then his belly then his back haha

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure that it was normal. He shed on around his mouth and beard 2 days ago and didn't shed at all yesterday. I went out this morning and just got back home and now his tail is shedding. He definitely is growing like a weed! : )

You could probably cut back on bathing to every other day as long as he is staying hydrated.
