Armadillo Lizard Shedding

Question
Hello Pam,

I am not finding a lot on the internet about it being normal for Armadillo Lizards to shed. Is this normal?
Spike is showing signs of shedding one one of his feet.

Thanks,
Lou

Answer
 Yup, armadillo lizards shed.  Babies shed frequently and adults, once or twice a year.  Having a rough stone like a paver in his tank and giving him baby warm baths will help him in the shedding process and make him feel better.  Keep a close eye on the toes and make sure he does not retain shed there as it could cause a loss of circulation if left on.
