Yes. An adult will shed its skin every 6-8 weeks. A baby will shed throughout its growth cycle. Sometimes as often as every 2 weeks. It will also do an entire body shed. As they get older and their growth slows down the frequency will lessen. An adult will only shed a couple of times a year and it will not usually be a full body shed, but different parts at a time.

∙ 14y agoshedding is normal when your dragon is growing. He may be cranky and not want to be petted or held. try to avoid snuggling while he isshedding. The best thing to do is to soak your dragon in warm chest deep warm water.
warnings: do not leave dragon unattended while soaking
and do not try to peal back any of the shedding skin because it could damage the skin underneath.

∙ 14y agoThey will shed a lot while they are growing. When they have reached full size, they will shed less, but expect them to shed their skin two or three times a year.
When they are shedding, it is ok to remove skin that is already hanging off, but do not pull skin from a bearded dragon's body. It can damage the new skin underneath and cause infections.

What do bearded dragons do when they molt?
First off they don't molt they shed :) Their skin will peel off much like a snake's does and they will have brand new skin underneath. They do this because their skin doesn't grow with them like a human's does so they need to get rid of the old stuff so they can grow in size.
Why do bearded dragons get dead scales?
A beardies skin does not grow like a humans. Instead they shed it much like a snake does. Instead of shedding all at once though a beardie will shed sections of their bodies at a time. For example in my beardies last time she shed her tail, back legs and back then waited for a week and shed her front legs and head.

The same thing that causes other reptiles to shed - they're growing ! Reptile skin doesn't stretch as it grows (like human skin does) so, periodically, they need to ditch the old skin in favour of a new one growing underneath.
What are the signs of shedding of a bearded dragon?
Its very normal for a bearded dragon not to eat while shedding...BUT if this behavior continues, and just never eat or there is a dramatic change in behavior it could be a possible sign of a illness. A good sign for shedding is the skin will actually get a white film like look over the skin. It'll look different from different parts of the body because he will not shed all at once, they are not like leopard geckos, Bearded dragons shed in stages. Remember a bearded dragon doesnt need assistants of pealing of the skin..when the skin is ready to come off, your beardie will try to scratch at it or even rub that part of the body somewhere rough.So please do not peel any of the skin off, UNLESS you see at the tip of the toes (the nails) if you see skin there that just wont come off in a long period of time that's the only time you may help, because that can lead to blocking off the blood flow
Are baby bearded dragons compatible with baby leopard geckos?
well baby beardies like to climb on each other and their long claws could damage the leopard geckos skin. so I wouldn't

Do green anoles have beards like bearded dragons?
No. While bearded dragons have a 'beard' of coarse scales that they can flare out using muscles and a moveable piece of cartilage, anoles have a flap of skin connected to a rod of cartilage, called a dewlap. The dewlap, or throat flag, is different in structure from a bearded dragon's beard. The dewlap extends vertically from the throat, while a bearded dragon's beat flares out in a half circle horizontally under its jaw.
