 Is my MHD shedding?

My MHD has begun shedding/molting around it’s head. I wondered if this is normal or maybe not humid enough. It’s in a 10 gallon aquarium with a pool and an airstone. I spray it several times per day. The temp stays around 74 degrees and humidity is around 55%.

Thanks,

Denise

I’ve had it about 2 mos. With tail it is about 8 in. and it has never shed before. I use the UVB light 12 hours/day but don’t use the heat lamp. We’re near the coast in SC and as I said, the temp is around 74 and the humidity 55% in the room where it is. I plan to get a bigger enclosure for it but my son spent around $250 for the set up and dragon.

yea the temp is a hair low and the humidity needs to be around 80% and you need a bigger enclosure ASAP :D it may be shedding but i would take it to the vet if it doesnt get better soon
