what is it?!:(


his face is shedding

What substrate are you keeping him on?
Is he getting a good supplemental food? Does he have a proper basking temperature?

i keep him on tiles

he gets silkworms and collard greens with random fruits and other greens thrown in and yeah i got a digital thermometer reading his basking every day

i think hes just sheeding but can it take longer than a week for the skin to crack so he sheds?

Looks like he has some retained shed on his arms which is completely normal. Beardies usually dont shed all in one shot but different parts of the body in pieces. A nice soak in some luke warm water always helps them shed and is good for hydration. Most likely he will poop during his soak so be ready to remove him when he does.

I agree. Looks like he's shedding. It should come off soon.
