How long does it take for bearded dragon to shed?

Bearded dragons typically take about **1 to 2 weeks** to complete the shedding process, though this can vary depending on factors like age, health, and environmental conditions. Here’s a breakdown:


1. **Baby and Juvenile Bearded Dragons**:  

   - They shed more frequently, often every few weeks, because they are growing rapidly.  

   - The process usually takes **3 to 7 days** since their skin is thinner.  


2. **Adult Bearded Dragons**:  

   - They shed less often, typically every few months, as their growth slows.  

   - The process can take **1 to 2 weeks** because their skin is thicker.  




### Tips to Help the Shedding Process:

- **Hydration**: Ensure your bearded dragon is well-hydrated. You can mist them lightly or provide a shallow bath.   https://www.beardiehq.com/2025/01/can-bearded-dragons-eat-canned.html

- **Humidity**: Maintain proper humidity levels in their enclosure (30-40%).  

- **Rough Surfaces**: Provide rocks or branches to help them rub off loose skin.  

- **Avoid Pulling Skin**: Never peel off the skin yourself, as this can cause injury.

If shedding seems prolonged or problematic (e.g., stuck shed, especially around the toes or tail), consult a veterinarian.
