@@jodywells7519Of course it was a shed. It is not capable of dragging and ripping out the eyes out of eye sockets along with itself. Dead skin is nowhere near that strong. All that yellow/green mush was probably just a pus pileup.
People please do not disturb a reptile when it is shedding, and please do not remove the skin prematurely, it can cause damage. It is extremely rare that they ever need our assistance.
Question… Because I’m interested in getting a bearded dragon… Is this something you have to do all the time or only when they have trouble doing it themselves?
i don't own a bearded dragon but i have had snakes and leopard geckos and am a member of reptile forums that discuss bearded dragons. you shouldn't have to do anything like this at all, the animal should be able to shed without assistance under the correct humidity. it could also damage the animals skin to do so
My parents are thinking of getting a bearded dragon for my little brother and I want to help out my parents with it so watching this is helping me get to know a little more about there behavior
Its not really the behavior. Its the lighting,humidity, heat. substrate or no substrate. Lights have a shelf life for uvb production, even though the light will still emit light it will not emit uvb and thats what they need to properly digest food. lack of uvb leads to stunted limbs that might not even work, tail disfigurement. These are things the petstore doesnt promote to the buyer. Whether that's from lack of knowledge or it's because they know if they explain that to him that means that your family would be having to buy a light every 6 months at like $70 a piece they don't want to add in all those costs they're just trying to sell the bearded dragon If you ever have any questions in the comments ask a Wendy Porter or Kyle prebby And they will give you answers that will make mine seem Like I don't know anything and I know a ton they are very smart reptile people
@@ChuckNorrizBeardedDragons здравствуйте! У нас в России нечестные продавцы на рынке сдавливали птичек , ломая им рёбра. Лет 25 назад мой муж с нашей дочерью поехали на рынок, где продавали разных животных ,птиц ,рыб. Они купили птичку, которая прожила сутки. Дочка ( ей было 8-9 лет) рыдала несколько дней. Тогда отец повёл её в зоомагазин. Птица, купленная там, прожила у нас несколько лет.
I have a question please. I thought reptiles who have eyelids do not have the eye cap over the eye to protect it. That poor gecko has eyelids but still had those unbelievable eye caps. Loved the look on his face after that first one came out
It's dramatic looking to pull a long, whole shedding but l think it would be kinder and more comfortable for the bearding dragon or lizard to do it in smaller pieces.
Cool compilation video! Those poor geckos! Omg! I wonder how many sheds worth those infected eye caps were from! 😲. That had to be really painful! Stay rad! 😊❤️👍🏻
I cant even understand how a owner could watch that happen for months and months and think the animal was okay? Did you read the vet notes? on the vet video?
@@ChuckNorrizBeardedDragons I sure did. Looks like you’re going to be on injections of antibiotics for the long haul, which we pretty well knew. I see they also still have her on the anti fungal amd anticoccidial. Do any of the meds bother her stomach? Also, check her vent and mouth for yeast. She hopefully won’t get it, since she is on an antifungal, but you want to get an additional treatment if she gets it. (Probably a topical ointment.). If you notice scales falling off, or tiny white
Bumps on her gums of around her vent, make sure the vet sees it when you discover it. Otherwise, real long-term stuff! How did you feel about what thw vet said?
@@ChuckNorrizBeardedDragons @ChuckNorrizBeardedDragons i've been searching for the video your talking about for 20 minutes now but i can't find it. will you link or point me in the direction of it please? thanks
this is normal for reptiles that don't notice having this skin in the eye, but then it has to come off because it has already created a new skin. this happens a lot with snakes, it helps keep the eye hydrated. I think you're talking about that.
It looks like it hurts. Poor babies. I couldn’t have a reptile. Blessings to the ones that do and to those who take good care of them. Imagine if we could shed our whole skin at once like that.
Why don't I go and get one of these thing, do a shedding short on RU-vid and then dump it like other people have, as its not the in thing now, lickinng cane toads is.
some of these were painful to watch, like the animals have evolved over millions of years to shed their own skin they don't need your sharp-ass tweezers hovering around their faces, especially since they can jerk their heads quickly.
