My beardie croc has had stuck shed for about a week now and it won’t come off with warm baths or coconut oil and I’m afraid it’s started to make the scales underneath rot. Please anyone help

It's very unlikely to make the scales rot. Adults tend to take much longer to shed since they aren't growing as quickly anymore. Can you post a picture?

It looks more like just a stain than anything. When my girl moro lays in her poo her belly looks like that until she sheds it off lol! Either way, you don't need to be concerned about it :mrgreen:

It looks like a shed to me, I think I can see the clear tips of the shed coming off the new scales underneath. Give it some more time and it should come off by itself. It doesn't look like it's causing any issues right now.

Yep... looks like someone likes to adventure through their poop haha!
Phoebe belly looks like this most of the time... she also likes to lay in her salad so she is permanently stained with salad or poop! Glorious!

It's a harmless, uneven dirty shed that will come off when it's ready. Very common + no problem !

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
