The periodic shedding of skin by reptiles is called ecdysis. This process allows reptiles to grow and remove parasites or damaged skin. Ecdysis occurs as the outer layer of skin becomes old and is replaced by a new layer underneath. The frequency of shedding can vary depending on the species, age, and environmental factors.
