Yes, but it's OK. just make you wash your hands after each time you touch it. If you do this you will have no problem whatsoever.
Bearded dragons tend to not shed all their skin at once. Usually, they are always in some state of shedding.
Yes they do ! They periodically shed their entire skin.
No. While bearded dragons have a 'beard' of coarse scales that they can flare out using muscles and a moveable piece of cartilage, anoles have a flap of skin connected to a rod of cartilage, called a dewlap. The dewlap, or throat flag, is different in structure from a bearded dragon's beard. The dewlap extends vertically from the throat, while a bearded dragon's beat flares out in a half circle horizontally under its jaw.

That is their "beard" hence where their name comes from. It is one of the protections. Wild dogs, coyotes, wolves and dingos are their main enemy and all those animals go for the neck or throat to kill. When a beardie is attacked it can harden the beard and that protects the neck from danger
well dragons in fairy tales do not agsist but you can get some animals like reptiles witch are described as dragon skin, but there is a lizard known as a bearded dragon
Im not entirely sure but looking at pictures of them online I found hat the western ones had a lighter skin tone than the eastern bearded dragons which were almost black in colour. Im not too sure on this, but I hope it helps :)
Baths are fantastic for bearded dragons. It calms them and hydrates them. In fact, one of the ways they get water is through their skin. The warmth even helps them in digesting their food.
The only part of bearded dragons that changes colour is the lower jaw and neck, hence the bearded part of the name. It goes black. As for variation in skin colour they come in everything from very pale yellow (citrus) through red (sandfire) to the almost giraffe like pattern of the leatherback.

Yes you can, but stop if it's beard gets dark or if it kind of tries to get out of your hand STOP, because that means it doesn't like it. Also only pull the skin if it's hanging or if the skin is on it"s nose. If the skin on it's nose it can't breathe!
First off they don't molt they shed :) Their skin will peel off much like a snake's does and they will have brand new skin underneath. They do this because their skin doesn't grow with them like a human's does so they need to get rid of the old stuff so they can grow in size.
