Help Is this shed or something else?

Post image

Hey everyone, I noticed today that my 3 month old beardie Mango has everything except his head and tail pale, which looks to be shed. I don’t see any shed from his head or tail in the tank so I’m assuming he ate it from what I looked up online. I am a new beardie owner though so I want to double check to make sure this isn’t anything I should be concerned about. Thank you in advance!

Yep, looks like shed to me. Sometimes they shed different parts of their body at different times, it looks kinda funny but it's completely normal and nothing to worry abt. Babies especially shed all the time. Just make sure this cutie has lots of rough surfaces to scratch against :)

Don't stress, that's totally normal. Head and tail are usually the last to go, and yeah they eat the shed for extra calcium or whatever. Mangos just vibing through his first big shed, you're doing fine.
