[QUOTE="Deabrua, post: 2028876, member: 101824"] I have two bearded dragons, Dezzy (female, 5yo) and Percy (male, ~8yo). They're in separate tanks that are each 60x28x29 (240g), mixed soil/sand substrate, misc logs rocks and hides in each, 99-104F basking spots depending on the day, 80F cool sides, unsure on warm side temp currently, and 30-35% humidity depending on if the lights are on/off. They each started shedding around three weeks ago with more than half of their bodies shedding. The majority of shed has come off without issue, backs are clear, tails are mostly clear, feet are clear, etc. Percy's issue is that his belly and at least one leg have not broken loose, even after baths. Dezzy's issue is a few patch spots, namely near the fat pads around her front legs, on top of her head, and a patch near the base of her tail. Again, even after baths. Both of them changed behavior wise around that time as well, hiding more than usual. I originally assumed due to shedding annoyances, but Percy has long since returned to basking/eating as normal and Dezzy continues to hide away. I thought she could be brumating, but she's awake more often than not when I check on her. Simply staring out of her hides. Dezzy still has her appetite but I'm concerned with feeding her in case she is attempting to go into brumation. Is it a husbandry issue? Do they just take longer when they're older? Do I need to do more with the baths? It's been awhile since I've seen Dezzy with such a large shed, and I'm a new owner for Percy as of April so I'm not familiar with him or a beardy of his age. Any thoughts appreciated. [/QUOTE]
