UPDATED- some advice on first experience of shedding

[louby13]

hi can someone tell me how obig is the gap between shedding one part of the body then the other as yoshi shed his tail on mon and now nothing else has shed...should i be worried


hi i was wondering if someone can give me some advice we have had Yoshi 6 wks today and my bubba has finally started to shed...and can i have some tips please.

i know that they can go off their food and become irritable, i know to not handle him as much and to not pull off the skin but could the rest be confirmed.


- how often should i bath him
- should temps be adjusted basking area 105 ( hes 4 and a half mths old) is this hot enough
- change in his diet needed???
- how long does it last???
- at present he is shedding his tail and back right leg

many thanks

You can bath him the same amount you have been, or move an extra couple days. You don't have to bath to make your dragon shed, it will shed on its own. But baths seems to help the process speed up.

Nope, temps can stay the same.

No change in diet is needed. although he might not be as hungry.

All dragons are different, it depends on how fast your dragon is growing, and what parts of the body are shedding.

The tail seems to take the longest to shed.

cool thanks for that well we gave him a bath as some was hanging off and just noticed it come off on its own so guess it helped
