Hey guys! It's me again with another question.

So yesterday, my bearded dragon was just getting over being sick(i feed him crickets that were too big). Last night and this morning he has been acting normal.

But there are some marks on his beard, like dark patterns. I'm not sure if he is still sick or stressed. He has puffed up and rubbed his head on his log. Is he about to shed again? His tail and head look rather dull, like what he looks like before he sheds. I've noticed he had these before, but I just wanted to double check.

He ate fine this morning, hunted well catching the run aways and he has had a bowel movement. His current temps are 105 in the basking surface and 85 on the cool side. He has a UVB 10.0 bulb in a flukers sundome. I have been feeding him crickets with calcium dust on it and his stable salad is collard greens with some celery for hydration. He also has a water dish in his terrarium.

Thanks,
Brandon

They sound like stress marks. If your dragon is getting ready to shed that would explain why hes rubbing his head on his log and being stressed.

Is the uvb bulb you have a compact coil bulb?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
