Because bearded dragons shed in patches, it's hard to determine how long a shed cycle takes. With young fast growing babies, they can be constantly in shed, as by the time the final part of one shed cycle ends, a new one will begin. Typically though, for each section, it should take no more than a week or two from the first greying of colors to skin falling off. If you feel your dragon is taking too long to complete sheds, a daily soak in luke warm water for about 15-20 minutes will help the shed along.
