hiya guys

got 2 beardies, in same viv atm but will get a 2nd one to split them soon.

i know one is bigger than the other but does this make a difference to the shedding?? the bigger one shreds alot more than the smaller one!! is this normal??

I'm guessing this is a stress factor.  The one not shedding is stressed  by it's cage mate. 
Can you separate these two ?  Is the enclosure large enough to provide both with their own basking and uvb ?  If so, then just place a divider in that enclosure, separating these two.. and I'll bet you'll quickly see improvements.
Hope this helps.

You can make that 40 smaller just by putting in a simple cardboard partition..
I'd personally move one of them, giving both their own space...
Hope this helps.
