I am hoping someone might have some insight for me on my beardies face scales. A few days ago I noticed that the scales on his upper lip area reaching to his nose look white/pinkish. I didn’t notice this the last shed and am not sure if this is normal and he’s getting ready to shed or if this is an issue.

Looks like a normal, healthy shed. Face shedding might make him irritable for a little while and you'll likely see him wiping his face on things to loosen the skin. Eye bulging is also pretty common when they start to shed on their face - nothing to worry about.

Thank you much for your reply! I am a nervous wreck, we have lost a baby beardie in the past now I analyze and stress over everything!!

I understand the feeling =(. Based on those photos, your guy looks nice and healthy to me. Looks like an arm and a leg shed coming on too. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
