It it normal for my bearded dragon to eat his own sheded skin?

Question

its not that i dont feed him enough cuz i prolly feed him too much and i do everything right when it comes to takeing care of him but i just noticed that he was doing this so is it a nasty but safe habit or what?

Answer 1

All lizards eat their own shedded skin. It is healthy for them and provides them with beneficial nutrients. That is why, after your lizard sheds, you almost NEVER find the skin in the tank. I've had my gecko for almost a year now, and despite all of the sheds he has gone through, I've only found pieces of skin maybe 2 or 3 times. And even then it was just small pieces here or there

Answer 2

Its fine many lizards eat the skin they shed. Its perfectly normal.
