Shedding scale-by-scale?

[plantkisser]

Recently I've noticed what look like individual scales turning pale and flaky on my beardie's tail. I don't think it's any sort of rot, they look like normal shed, but it's also only one scale. If I touch them she flinches away and when they do fall off, the scale underneath doesn't seem fully developed. Any idea what this might be?

The first image is an underdeveloped looking scale. The second one is a flaky one before it sheds off. Sorry that they are not great pictures, but its on such a small scale (hah!) that it's hard to get a good photo.

Hi PK....that's completely normal and harmless. Just like we humans develop some blotches, blemishes, dandruff + dry skin, beardies and all animals in general will develop a few spots that seem " different ". Those spots are no problem.
