Shedding

[Mirandor]

Is there anything I should worry about with my beardie shedding? Particularly around his eyes? I figured no since they do it on their own no problem in the wild, but I just thought I'd check. He went to sleep before I turned his light off tonight for the first time, although I did turn it off later than usual on accident, but I noticed it looked like he had shedded around his eyes and I don't know if I should do something to get that skin off before he wakes up or just leave him alone 'til he figures it out and takes care of it.

Best thing you can do is give your Beardie a Warm Bath everyday during his Shed Period. Make sure the Water is Warm, but not Hot enough to Burn your hand, I believe 85 Degree's will work. Allow your Beardie 15 - 20 Minute's to sit in the Water and Soak it up, Bath's help a lot with Shedding as well as Re-hydrating. Then after the Bath be sure to Gently pat the Beardie with a Towel or Hand Rag, then sit the Beardie Back on his Basking area to warm back. I give my Beardie a bath 2 - 4 Hour's before his bed time to give him enough to warm back up.

Yeah, I usually give him a bath at least every other day for hydration, I was just concerned with his eyes and wasn't sure if I needed to be.

Nahh, just drip water over them in the bath is all. Just watch and make sure the very tip of his tail and all his tip's of his toe's, skin come's off properly. Just gently rub them in the bath and it should fall right off when it's ready.
