I'm soon getting a baby bearded dragon, so I'm very unfamiliar with the bearded dragons' shedding process. What's normal? I just want to make sure that when she does shed, I know what to look for.

Thanks.

When a bearded dragon sheds it will cover its whole body. It should come off real easy on their own. If you end up having spots on the dragon that do not come off your dragon is too dry. You will need to mist or soak your dragon more often and you may end up having to help them remove it. This is a reply to the person that asked about it. The dragon is very nice and as always you get the best looks after the shed.

Thanks, I'll know what to look for.

Just to clarify, bearded dragons shed in patches, not in one big piece. Typically they shed their tail and limbs, then head and body, or any combination of body parts.
