It would be best for Manolo to be seen by a veterinarian experienced in treating reptiles. You can find one close to you at the link below. http://arav.site-ym.com/search/custom.asp?id=3661 In the meantime, confirm proper environmental parameters. A daily soak in a warm water bath may aid in shedding. You can read about bearded dragon care here: http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html
