hi my 10mth old beardie has started to loose the colour from his head and back of his neck its going a pale white colour has anybody had similar with theirs if so is it anything to worry about, his seems to be his usual self otherwise

hi hun, he's going to shed soon, giving him a bath will help to loosen the old dry skin.

Is he truly going white or is the skin getting ready to shed, my dragons look a little whiteish when them are getting ready to shed their skin.

hopefully it is getting ready to shed, only concern is he has always started to shed his back first. have been bathing him in warm water just in case, he sits in it for about 5mins then tries to climb out

[joannes]

are the areas that normally stay dry the same as those that are going white, you can try misting him a few times a day with warm water, concentrating on the areas that are more white. Also when bathing him get a sponge wet and dribble the water over the areas to ensure they get a bit of a soak.

Good luck and keep us posted!!
