How I Helped This Reptile Shed Their Skin

Most reptiles have an external covering of epidermal scales, which they shed. It's called ecdysis. It's a natural process that occurs in all healthy reptiles up to 12 times a year. Why is ecdysis important for reptiles? Does it hurt?

I can’t stop watching these shedding videos

I have four bearded dragon lizards, they need help with they're shed sometimes. I always help with their noses, eyes and ears, their behinds too cause it doesn't really come out on its own unless they drag their booties in the grass, which I have carpet which won't work.

Only help your reptile shed if it actually needs help, otherwise you might hurt them.

WHY SOME ARE SO SATISFYING AND SOME SO GROSS

[@maggie_o5233]
