dull coloured skin

shyne May 21, 2003 08:22 PM

my beardie's skin is really dull lately... the colours are really "faded" looking and has alot of yellow around his eyes

could this mean that he's possibly sick??

Sounds like he/she is going into a shed......when the last time they shed and how old are they?

i doubt it. he's been like this for a while now.. he doesn't eat much anymore either.
he's almost 2 years now and he hasn't shed for around a week or two but i mist him every day

Usually adults only shed every 3-4 months.....so did he finish a full shed 1-2 weeks ago......maybe he still needs to shed his body.......adults can be dingy looking for 4-6 weeks before a shed.......did he brumate this year? If not the not eating may be a sign of starting brumation if he is less active......when did he have his last fecal? How much and what is he eating? How often is he pooing?
