    My beardys lights are on at 7am. What is a good feeding schedule for him? He's around two months old. Also, how long does it take for them to shed? Mine has been sehdding for like a week and thats just his legs.

    It can take a while for them to shed. It depends a lot on their growth rate (fast growth of flesh under the shedding skin can cause it to shed off quickly), general humidity in the enclosure, etc.

    Ours get the lights on around 9am, and salad is introduced at that time daily. They get their first round of crickets around 3-4pm, and then another round at about 7pm or so. Salad bowls are refilled during the day if they become empty.

    Well today when I saw my beardie, the sight kind of scared me at first because it's his first shed and I never seen it but his entire back was peeling off completly. I was happy though, it came off when I gave him his bath and the new skin looks nice and bright. Thanx again for the help Axe.

    Yeah, reptiles always look their best right after a shed... That's when they're at their absolute brightest & most vibrant.
