shedding taking too long?

[salmar]

my beardie shed his whole body except his tail three days ago and his tail still hasn't shed. Is there something wrong? i gave him a bath after he shed so his tail could shed too and yesterday i gave him another.

We posted very similar posts within minutes of each other. Does your beardies tail look similar to the ones in my pics in my post called "black tail"?

Not at all. My beardie, Budo, will usually shed his legs and head, then wait a month before shedding his tail and body. If he's younger, he will most likely have completed his shed by the end of the week. Keep up baths every one or two days and monitor him closely. If his tail starts to turn dark, as with Treehorn's beardie, that is a cause for some concern, but that does not happen very often.
