A bearded dragon sheds its skin regularly. In order for this to happen, he requires the correct conditions. In captivity these conditions are aided by a basking lamp and warm environment. Together with exfoliation would be the sun lamp. As I mentioned, dragons love to bask in the sun. To create this environment, we give them a basking lamp under which they sit for hours. (Don't forget natural sun is very important for him - being a desert creature, he needs large amounts of Vitamin D).
The skin comes off in large patches. Don't help them to pull it off--you can damage the new skin underneath. Letting them soak in shallow warm (98 deg) water or misting them helps shedding. Exfoliating dragon
Going into shed is not a real fun thing for beardies. Most get rather cranky during this time, with some becoming hissy or snappy, objecting to being held or touched. The best thing to do is to respect their ill-feeling as much as possible. Some beardies will greatly reduce their food intake during a shed, others stop eating altogether until after they have shed. Offer a nice warm bath to help keep the skin moist and offer fluids for beardies that are off food.
Problems during Shedding
A problem shed is a shed that isn't happening like a normal, healthy shed should. Adult beardies normally shed in pieces, a problem shed would be where it is taking too long, or where skin is retained in problem areas, such as around toes, spikes, and tails. A problem shed is a sign of an even greater, underlying problem. When a problem shed occurs, or one that is too slow to start or finish, you need to figure out why it is happening and correct the problem.
- First, analyze the environment, diet, etc. Are their any signs of pain and discomfort?
- Correct the problem (adjust heat, lighting, photoperiods, diet, etc.).
- If the beardie has started shedding, but not properly completed a shed, you can help it along. Soak them in a tub of warm water (95-99 degrees F) for 10-15 minutes, then begin gently rubbing their skin. Make sure the skin is removed from their toes, spikes, and tails.
- If there is still retained shed in these problem areas, wrap the wet beardie in a warm damp towel, then wrap that in a dry towel. Sit down with it for 5 minutes or so, then expose a small area of the crest, or a foot, and begin to gently work at the retained skin.
- If there are several layers or one very resistant layer, rub some mineral oil into the area while the beardie is still wet from the bath. This will help lock the moisture from the bath into that area. Do this for a couple of days (bath followed by the mineral oil worked into the skin); this should get enough water wicked up between the layers of skin to make them very easy to remove.
You might wonder as to where all the shedded skin has gone. Some beardies will occasionally eat some of their shed. This is not a problem as long as the beardie is maintained in a clean environment.

SE Asian cultures - Laos Food
Lao cuisine is very different from the cuisines of other SE Asian cultures and has features which it does not generally share with its neighbours. The Lao food tradition does not belong only to the country of Laos, but to the ethnic Lao people many of whom are inhabitants of Northern Thailand (the Isaan). Indeed, Thailand has more Lao people than Laos! As a result, Lao food is well known, and popular, throughout Thailand and especially in Bangkok.
The main difference in Lao food is a fondness for raw foods which are shunned in other parts of the region. The most famous dish in Lao cuisine is 'laap', a spicy mixture of marinated meat and/or fish mixed with lime juice, garlic, chilli pepper, onion and mint. The meat and fish are often served raw, although cooked versions (laap suk ) are also available. Meals are often accompanied by heaps of fresh raw greens, vegetables and herbs on the side. Salads are also popular and the most well known is tam som, a spicy salad made of green papaya with chillis, garlic, tomatoes, ground peanuts, field crab, lime juice and fish sauce.
Flavourings include lime juice, lemon grass and fresh coriander as well as a wide variety of herbs. Unlike in surrounding countries, there is a heavy use of mint and dill in Lao cooking. Salt is derived mostly from fermented fish sauce.
Being land-locked, Laos depends on rivers for its fish. The Mekong dominates Laos and supplies most of its fish. Sadly, many species have been wiped out by over-fishing. Chicken, duck, pork, beef are also widely available. In the northern countryside, pangolin, monitor lizard, civet, wild dogs and field rats are also eaten.
Almost every meal is accompanied by sticky (glutinous) rice, klao niaw. The locals gather together a ball of this rice and dip it into one of a number of condiments or eat it plain. Workers in the fields carry a small pouch containing some sticky rice and a little meat to make their mid-day meal.
Lao people are fond of bitter foods and kaeng jeut, a mild soup with minced pork and bitter gourd, is a popular dish. Other popular dishes include 'or lam' from Luang Prabang which is a spicy green stew with wood ear mushrooms, eggplant, yard long beans, meat, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, sweet basil, and chillies. Dried buffalo meat and crisp-fried pork skin are often added.
Despite their gastronomic independence, one of the most popular foods in Laos is actually Vietnamese. They have their own version of pho (feu in Lao), the famous Vietnamese dish of rice noodles in soup. Here, it is served with meatballs and each customer adds his preferred amount of fish sauce, chilli sauce or even sugar. This is available in snack shacks all over the country and is often the only dish on offer in out of the way places. Chinese food is also common and the Lao people have adopted the technique of stir-frying.
The French colonists also made their mark on the cuisine of Laos and a popular breakfast, especially in Vientiane, is French bread, khao jii which is freshly baked each day and served with pâté, fried eggs and omelette. Alternatively, it is easy to find croissants in Vientiane. These can be enjoyed with a cup of the excellent local coffee. You can visit Indochina Odyssey Tours to get more information about Laos.

My skin is dry AND oily? Also, acne medication made my skin WORSE...?
My skin has been EXTREMELY dry lately, like, it always gets dry in the winter, but NEVER like this. It's flakey and scalely, and I look like a lizard. And when I moisturize, it gets too oily. But my moisturizer ALWAYS works, I've been using it for years, and I use it all year around. Now, it doesn't balance out my dry skin, and just makes me look REALLY gross and oily! Oh, and at the beginning of December, I went to a derma, who supplied me pills and some gel lotion to put on my face once a day, abut a pea-sized amount. But I've noticed, ever since that, my skin has gotten worse, and I just want my old skin back. Should I keep going to the dermatologist? Should I keep trying, or just go back to my old routine? Also, what about my oily/dry skin? Solutions?
Please? I can't even lock eyes with anyone at school anymore. ):
As for the pills.. keep taking them! It is VERY common for your face to break out first before getting better. Hang in there.. it will be worth it.
As for the moisturizer.. make sure your lotion is oil free. If it isn't go get one that is. Cetaphil is awesome and won't clog you up. Oh.. and don't scrub your face! either with a wash cloth or a facial scrub... it will only make the dryness worse!
