Question Odd beardie shedding

Right, it's been a while since our beardie did a full body shed, ive put this down to the fact that he's grown up. but ive been told, and read, that when grown up beardies would shed random parts every now and then.

now our beardie is just shedding random scales, is this normal?

this may be a stupid question, its just been bothering me for a bit.
thanks,

hmmm... it doesn't seem to be affecting him. he has recently put on a bit of weight, so many he'll shed in larger chunks rather than a sclae every few days.

has no one else ever had this? very strange.

Thank you

it was just strange, coz i knew that he'd do sort of body parts at a time, wasn't prepared for the individual scale bit.
