Shedding is a natural process in all reptiles. The process is also referred to as moulting, peeling, or sloughing, and is when your bearded dragon casts off its old skin. Unlike snakes, who leave a full cast behind, your bearded dragon will shed and flake in various areas and will look patchy for a short while.
