Are you misting the beardie everyday and giving her baths? The extra moisture will aid in shedding.

How long has the beardie been like this? Sometimes the skin will shed in one area but not in another. Or they will shed at different times in the same general area.

it feels liek its been forever lol, but i'd say it seems like about a month, my main fear is that it will cut of the circulation and the tail will fall off or something
