Ive noticed the same with my beardies, it just takes them time too shed all of there skin off, they dont tend to shed all at once like some reptiles. It usually takes mine a few days too a week to finish shedding there whole body.

No what I'm saying is the shed on his legs came off but there's no new color or anything its still looks like he's shedding

I don't think there is anything "wrong" with your dragon. Are you giving daily soaks? Those help. You can also use a very soft baby toothbrush and rub in circular motions (very gently) in the areas that are concerning you. Probably feels nice too...since baby is probably itchy. Shedding is a process and can take a while.

If you want us to take a look just post a picture :)

Sometimes what happens (if I am understanding correctly) is that a young dragon is growing so fast that he begins shedding a second layer under the top shedding layer before he is done the first shed. My guess is he just finished shedding, and is already getting ready to shed again.

YUP! My beardie just shed TWO layers of his back...it never peeled the first time. Totally normal :) They shed SO often and SO fast!

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
