My Bearded Dragon Is Peeling (Shedding) It's Skin: Why?


Bearded Dragons are very interesting animals. Just like a snake; bearded dragons peel their skin and its quite interesting why?

Imagine that you were a snake and you had to shed or peel your skin. It would feel different and unusual. This is what a bearded dragon has to go through. Just remember that you need to be aware of the habits and behaviours of bearded dragons.

There are many reasons such as:
a)It has become small and tight for them
b)Natural pattern for a bearded dragon
c)Replace old skin
d)Their maybe injury or germs that have damaged the body
e)For growth

Just like humans we shed skin for growth and to replace old cells that may be lurking on the body as well.

It's a natural occurrence for bearded dragons so if it seems odd its not. This is just another thing that as a bearded dragon owner that you need to be aware of.
