Question
Bearded Dragon
Bearded Dragon  
Something is wrong with my bearded dragons skin on her back. I just noticed it this morning. It is blueish looking. I gave her a bath and cleaned the tank. It still looks the same. I have attached a photo. Please help.
Thank you, Lisa

Answer
Hello Lisa,

That appears to be an upcoming shed!
How old is she?  
She looks relatively young?
Are you using a UVB light & if so, what type & brand?  How close is the basking light & the UVB to her?

It should shed off pretty soon.  You can give a daily bath to help with shedding if she seems to be having some trouble getting it off.

Let me know how that goes.
