How long does a full body shed usually take? I think it's been about 2 weeks since I first noticed that Trex was shedding, half of the shed on his face is still there and the rest of his body still has shed. Also he hasn't puffed out his eyes and he's had skin stuck there for a week, do I help him with his eyes or should I just wait?

How old is your beardie? Shedding tends to be a slower process for bearded dragons than for other species in my experience.

Then shedding will definitely take a while. He probably won't shed his entire body — I've noticed that adult bearded dragons only shed in patches rather than full body like they do when they're young and growing. You can soak him in warm, shallow water for 15 minutes at a time to help ease the process.
