how long have you had her? how old is she? sometimes they shed and you may not even notice except for change in color (usually brighter than usual) or if you find the skin. some eat their skin from what others have said but I have always found the skin hidden

Also u should be soaking her about once a week. they will drink and let the water soak in them. This will help them shed easier too. You can use tap water with certain water treatments...... such as; Dechlor and repti-chrol.. the Dechrol can be found in the fish section at most pet stores. its the easier to find.. it only calls for 1 drop per gallon of water. i soak my beardies for atleast 30 mins. don’t make the water level to high beardies are known to drown is shallow water. a lil above chest level. Make sure the water temp is similar to the temp they were at in the enclosure. Also make sure u have the proper uvb wattage and heat, and depending on the age, younger beardies require more protein, Crickets, Roaches Super Worms (not meal worms)..... they are a type of meal worm but the shells are easier to digest for them. Older beardies require more greens. All of these are very important to ur beardies health and growth. i have 4 beardies and have devoted my life to them. among with my many other critters. If u get a pet make sure u know how to take care of it properly. Even sum info u can get from the net is inaccurate that i have seen about substrates and foods for beardies. So pick and choose ur advise wisely from ur net info, make sure they are a reliable source of hard fact info. Good luck to you. if u have any more questions e-mail me at critters2004@msn.com with any further questions or comments. I do make my rounds in here but not to often anymore.. kinda busy these days
