[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2025114, member: 31715"] Hi there, Like mentioned, the tail and tail tip are stubborn areas to shed. The tail grows slower than the rest of the body and has less movement, so the shed in that area tends to stick around longer. 99 times out of 100, you don't need to do anything to help a dragon shed. It's something that will happen naturally and has been happening for eons. We as keepers have made it up in our heads that if the shed stays on the body that its some scary health risk when in reality, complications from stuck shed are very very rare, and are almost always caused by an issue with the husbandry. IMO, attempting to put all that moisture into the skin is what is keeping it there. Beardies are not like snakes or other creatures that require moisture and humidity to shed. What typically helps a dragon shed is actually the shed getting dry, brittle, and cracking and peeling off with movement. TLDR, don't worry about it. It will come off in time. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
