shedding question

[Kmarks]

Hey Everyone,
I am a first time beardie owner with a rescue juvie. He is warming up to me nicely. He eats out of my hand and lets me pet him all the time. He still does not like it when I try to pick him up, but we are working on that.

Right now, his coloration on his body is awesome, but his head and legs are pale. I can compare it to dry skin around the knees/elbows. Is this the beginnings of a shed or something else?

Thanks for the help.

Yes, that sounds like a shed. It's common for them to shed in pieces like that rather than all at once. Nothing to worry about. If you can provide some warm baths it may help the shed along, but it's not worth it if it adds a lot of stress.
