White Head

[MitchMitch]

Can someone tell me, when beardies shed... do their heads shed as well? My guy went thru a shed cycle not to long ago (few weeks) - tail, legs, and now his head is white. I dont know if this is normal, or a problem. He stayed under his rocks yesterday all day. Still eating like a champ though. Chowed on 2 dozen crix and ate his greens. Just seems out of sorts.

Mitch, yes their heads do go white just before they shed, and the grumpys go with sheds !
If you should also see your dragon inhaling and breathing hard, and inflating the beard, this is also a shedding action. The dragon does this to loosen the old skin on the beard.
Hope this helps out !
Also a nice warm bath helps sheds immensely !

Yes.. that does help. Poor guy
No basking sessions yesterday, just hid under his rocks and became anti-social.
But at least he is eating. And yes.. a warm bath is in order today
