Bearded dragon shedding???

I have a one year old female. She has proper lighting, I give her baths every other day, and she eats very well. There is one peice of dead skin the size of a dime on her back shoulder that just will not come off. She has had it for over a month now. I've tried to just lightly nudge it, but it seems like it is fused with new skin. Anything I can do to remove it?!?!

Nope, just leave it be and it will come off probably during next shed. My Water Dragon has the same thing going on. Bathing helps and the shed ease stuff from pet stores. Dont pull it off. Let it be and when its ready it will come off and if it was bothering her she would scratch it off so let it be and let time work it out. http://www.beautifuldragons.com
Reply:it's best just to leave it alone, and let it come off on its own
Reply:She Is Probably Growing Out Of Her Skin And Little Piece's At A Time Will Fall Off On Its Own So I Suggest You Should Just Leave It Alone.
Reply:i have a bearded dragon myself and its 7 years old. ((arent they soooo cute)





you should just let the skin come off on itts own cause it will hurt her if you pull. She might try rubbing it off her back and thats ok.


good luck
Reply:It will come off with her next shed in a few months. If it doesn't, apply hot water and vegetable oil (pet stores carry Shed Ease that will help). Rub it on then gently peel off with tweezers. It is nothing to worry about, but if it does not come off with the next shed it could constrict the tubercle spikes later on, and it will be easier to get off the earlier you try.





Anyway, nothing serious.
