My little bearded has been shedding the last 36 hours and he/she has completely shed except for the head. Is that normal? Any suggestions, if this is not normal?

Does the head shed last?

I can't tell you what's "normal", but I can tell you that the 3 we have never shed the same body parts in the same order. One will shed it's legs first and one of the other will shed the tail first, the third one it's back or belly. Then the next time around they swap up.
If there's a pattern to their shedding, I've yet to figure out what it is.

Bearded dragons typicaly shed in patches...some body parts one week, others the next week. Occaisonally they will shed their entire body in the same week.
