Some shedding issues

Hi guys, this is my first time posting, so i hope im in the right column.

I've had my Kira for 2 months now - she's four months last tuesday, and was recently shedding.
This is my first time experiencing shedding and so far her tail, legs and arms have shed nice and clean. However, her body and head have yet to shed. The scales have turned dark, and cloudy. But they have been like that for the past week.

Is it normal for these parts of the body to take longer to actually shed?

Thanks guys :)

I mean some can take longer than others, i once had my female adult beardie's body start shedding and it took a month or so for her to finally shed the large piece off, it was probably a little over a month or more.

Shedding for such a young dragon ( a hatchling growing FAST and becoming a juvenile ) should proceed relatively smoothly if piecemeal over a week or two.

Provide beardie with some sticks which have rough surfaces and sharp bits , or very rough textured piece of hard bark and beardie will take care of removing the old skink by itself by rubbing on there, crawling over and under and through them .
Only need to watch for stubborn shed on the fingers, toes , legs and arms and tail , especially if they a tight and obstruct blood flow.

My 2 year olds Peppa and Toothless have been in shed for over a month and Toothless is having particular issue with patchy tail shed this time.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
