“My baby brother ripped the skin off of his leg and ate it.”
Don’t worry, it’s perfectly normal for baby dragons –gotta replace all that skin with a bigger one so you have room to grow after all. Makes for a pretty tasty treat too! :D

My hermit crabs would eat their old exoskeletons after they molted, to recycle the calcium and other nutrients that went into making it. I’m pretty sure snakes and other reptiles do the same thing for the same reason.
Well, dragons are reptiles, and reptiles do shed their skin. I’m surprised we never saw something like this in the show, though judging from the cartoon here, it’s probably for the best.
Absolutely.
yup
I never knew snakes eat their own molted skins.
