My bearded dragon is shedding for the first time since I've had her and she's been at it for like a week now. How long does it typically take for a bearded dragon to shed completely (she's 4 years old if that makes a difference). Also, she has one toe that is refusing to shed. I've been soaking her but it doesn't seem to want to start shedding (all that happens is that she poops in the water). Is there a way to induce shedding or will it eventually go on its own?

A complete shed can take a week. Keep soaking her daily in warm water, and you can use a Q-tip to gently roll loose shed off her toes while wet.

Thank you for the best answer.I needed to find out why Rosy wasn t eating her crickets and her veggies.she usually would eat her crickets and veggies.Rosy looks like she s shedding on her bellie and on the edge of her mouth.She wouldn t let me look at her mouth.She would open her mouth up to protect her shedding skin and she would hiss at me.But I m not sure why waxworms aren t safe to eat every day.Thanks for the info about juvenile fancys that are shedding take about a week.
