Yes, bearded dragons can sometimes become aggressive when they are shedding. Shedding is a natural process for these reptiles, but it can cause discomfort and irritability. During this time, their skin becomes dry and itchy, which can make them more prone to aggression. Additionally, the shedding process can be physically demanding for bearded dragons, leading to increased stress levels and potentially aggressive behavior. It is important for caretakers to understand and anticipate these changes in order to provide appropriate care and handling during a shedding period.
