Its been about 3-4 weeks since his last molting, should I be worried??
Answers:
Bearded dragons actually do not molt. They shed their skin, which is similar to molting.
The frequency that beardies shed varies. When they're younger, it is quite often, sometimes once (and possibly twice) a week. As they get older, they shed much less often. sometimes as little as once every 3-4 months. Shedding rate seems mostly influenced by growth rate.
Therefore, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
NEVER try to help your dragon by peeling off the skin. If the skin isnt ready to come off, then peeling it could hurt it. Giving them a nice little bath will help the skin come off.
what the hell is that
BD's will shed often, moreso as babies. They shed when they grow out of their skin.literally. The more they shed the more they are growing. How old is your dragon?
my bearded dragon, who i dont know how old she is, but shes 8 inches long including the tail, sheds a different part of the body everyday. one day it will be part of the foot, or the chin, or the tail, something like that
Usually baby dragons shed their skin a lot. It may seem like they do it one shed after another. Depending on the growth rate, juveniles may shed once a month. Maybe even twice. Maybe even every 2 months. Adults usually shed their skin every 6 months.probably more than that. I bathe my dragons twice a week to ensure they're hydrated. It also helps big time when they're shedding.
Usually a dragons skin color will turn to a dull greyish/whitish milky color before they shed. My juvenile is very orange, and his turns pink. Depending on the morph of the dragon, the skin color may vary. But don't be alarmed unless you think it's something unusual.
I would soak your beardie for 20 minutes in lukewarm water (about 95F..your body temperature) everyday or every other day during his whole shedding process. Fill the water up to his arm pits. If you have a small dragon, you can soak him in the sink, or a rubbermaid. Larger dragons usually do well in the bath tub. They do shed in pieces. Never pull the shed off. They will usually rub themselves against a rock or branch or something rough inside the cage, so make sure you've got something in there for him. Never leave him unattended. Good luck!
The frequency of shedding depends on how fast the animal is growing.
