That's it in destress when it's eyes close I don't recommend peeling of it's shed like that it could damage skin under the scale and could rip a scale of
Some of that shed was ready to come off, but there were parts that clearly were not, which the owner kept pulling on. It's a bit like when a bad sunburn on a human starts to peel, where if you pick at the shedding skin too much you can tear up living sections and cause damage. It's recommended beardies get weekly baths anyway, but a good soak in warm water does wonders for helping to remove dead skin. Personally, I don't mess with the shed process. I keep an eye on my beardies when they shed to make sure none gets stuck, but so far they've never really needed help from me. They have plenty of rough surfaces in their enclosures to buff against if needed.
I have to agree that some areas like towards the base of his neck, the dead skin wasn’t ready to come off. It probably needed about 2-3 days with soaking. Maybe more. I do think the only good spot is the nose just to make sure the lizard can breathe properly

It is so important that you guys do not peel off your bearded dragon's skin, this can really damage their scales and it could peel off raw skin further down.
kind of interesting how all of the japanese comments talk about how cute the lizard is and how relaxing his voice is, while all of the english comments are concerned for the lizard
I know!! I didn't translate but I saw all happy emojis from the Japanese and only concerned English people with only a few people who dont understand and think it's satisfying or cute
Yeah, the Japanese comments are mostly like "how cute your lizard is!" or "your voice is so calming!" While we English commentors are like "is your lizard gonna be okay? Thats so much of dead skin, are they gonna be alright??"
@@knightofarkronia8652 I mean, technically speaking you shouldn't be taking it off yourself, because the animal may not be ready and you may hurt it, but I think this guy isn't harming the lizard. It looks well-hydrated and peels off easily so I think he's doing okay.
In my limited experience with helping reptiles shed, I've found that they tend to accept help more the sooner their eyes, nose and ears are tended to. A lot of the anxiety they probably feel when getting helped is due to their senses being compromised by the shed, so when it's removed, they can perceive their surroundings more clearly and without obstructions. Even if the reptile knows who you are and what is happening, their anxiety is on instinct to be extra cautious when their senses are even slightly imperfect. Good job on helping the Bearded Dragon, I am just mentioning my experience in case it can apply here.
@@tanaka1103 or no. It can damage the new skin underneath and cause issues. You're supposed to soak the reptile, bump up humidity, etc. to help the molt come off easier. Not pick at it. You ever tried picking at a scab? Basically same thing right here.
I don’t have a bearded dragon but I don’t need to have one to know that this isn’t how to remove shed. The skin on its head was clearly dead and was just barley hanging in and wouldn’t be a problem removing it. But the part on either side of the jaw was clearly not ready to come off yet. There was times where I couldn’t tell the difference between dead skin and healthy skin. The lizard knew because it would pull away when it was becoming painful. Just like with people who get a scab, it comes off when it wants and you shouldn’t pull it off
The only time pull it off is if it is very loose is it ok for me to do that? Just asking Edit: like when it is as loose as it was below that berdies eye
it's one thing to help a shed if it's coming off in big flakes, but if lifting the shedding skin causes pulling on the fresh skin underneath, you should definitely not do this. it's evident throughout this vid that the beardie is experiencing discomfort, and in some parts it seems like the beardie is in pain. I hope I'm wrong and that everything is alright, but please be careful when caring for your dragon!! 💜
Literally thru the video I was saying how he shouldnt peel the shed off thats CLEARLY not ready to come.off..... and I never use tweezers I always use a towel to kimda rub the dry skin off my dragon NEVER minds when I do.... it actually seems to put him to sleep lol
if you’re talking about when he pulls off the skin on the beard, that is always a tough shed no matter what. my bearded dragon almost always gets a stuck shed here. i’m not seeing signs of discomfort, only itching. also he is not having a black beard or anything. he is not pulling on any skin that isn’t ready to come off in the video. bearded dragon shedding is hard sometimes and it doesn’t hurt to aid him when it’s appropriate!
I'm Japanese and I'm not good at English, so I use a translation. It's normal for lizards to molt, and I think it's okay to help lizards molt as long as you don't hurt them with tweezers. I think foreigners worry too much. (訳) 私は日本人で英語が苦手なので、翻訳を使用します。トカゲが脱皮するのは普通のことですしピンセットで傷つけない限り、トカゲの脱皮を手伝っても大丈夫です。私は外国人が少し心配しすぎだと思います。 可愛いコメントの何が悪い！！！！！
Get something scratchy so he can scatch it off naturally (rough logs and stones will work) if he cant scartch it off naturally warm water and a shed away pad works just as well, the poor guy looked pained
You only need to use tweezers around the eyes, the nostrils and under her beard. I use my thumb to rub off the dead skin from the lips and top of the head. Petting it from snout to back of head. “Shed ease” or shedding spray helps a lot. Alternative you can use coconut or vegetable oil to help remove dead skin. Especially those single stuck scales. Just don’t put it under a basking light after applying the vegetable/ coconut oil or it will start to cook the bearded dragon / beardie.
Omg he looks like he is in so much pain! Don’t pull off the shed! It will come off when it’s ready he might get an infection and sometimes it can lead to your beardie losing a limb!
@@brittanyalonge I’m a bearded dragon owner and maybe he looks ok to you but to me it looks like he is in pain. But still even if he isn’t in pain it is still really bad to pull off the shed
They look like they're in so much pain. Not only does it hurt then, it will hurt a lot more when they catch diseases from their raw skin. Such a pretty dragon, too. I'm sure they didn't mean to hurt them, though. Just try to think when it starts to run away.
please don’t peel the shed off :( it can be painful for them. instead you should bath them in warm water and use a toothbrush to gently scrub at it, or just let it come off on its own :( poor guy looked in pain :(
That's exactly why I clicked on the video, I was looking for this comment. Thank you so much for trying to inform people not to make this stupid mistake
