white spots

Question
My 8 month old Chinese water dragon has been shedding about 2 times a month. This time around he has a bunch of tiny white spots on his back, in the area that is about to shed. Is this normal? Does he need more moisture?

Answer
Hi Rachel, more moisture will help the shed come off easily and it is probably a good idea. Do the spots look like shedding skin or is it under the old skin?

Do you have pictures?

If you can become a member here :

and in the water dragon section post the pictures and I can help answer there or other members can also help.

It sounds normal but I am not sure what you are describing.

If you can't become a member there can you link me a picture or attach one to a follow up question?

Good luck
