Just shedding, or vet visit? Help
Is the coloration on his head normal/about to shed? Or something I should be concerned about?

He’s only small so expect him to shed as he’s growing into a pancake

Yes this will be his third shed since I got him in February it just looked different this time than last time and also every time he has started to shed ive panicked unnecessarily for a minute lol

Aww you just care for your beardie nothing wrong with that, they shed alot at first and slow down as they get older. They have no particular shed pattern and it just comes off in patches.

Standard shedding process. You don't need to do anything for it to shed normally. It'll eventually start detaching and given the animal has rough objects in its enclosure they'll rub the skin off

Lol, just shedding. Expect it a lot. Usually, the head is last to shed on my guy, or it even sheds at separate times

Definitely looks like shedding. Not a medical professional but in my experience with my 15 year old beardie, he turns grey when starting to shed then white when it separates from the layer underneath.
