Hi there, I've seen dragons shed like that, esp. young ones where the shed seems to linger right there like a small cap above each eye and is the last to come off. That's probably what it is. Just to be sure she can't get too close to ant heat elements, can you post a pic of her viv ?

And what you can do is dilute some raw honey with a tiny bit of warm water + apply it there. It's the best skin conditioner [ as well as antimicrobial ] you can get. and is safe for the eyes. [ It can be used even directly IN the eye for infections as well ] Just a tiny dab will work, but be sure there are no loose bugs in the tank that would be attracted to the honey.

So i should get some antimicrobial i looked on ebay will the wash be ok? Or wipes? Ill prob go chemist if they do it n ill get some honey too ?

No, you don't need any medicine or wipes. You don't want chemicals getting in his eye. The raw honey works as a lubricant, I just mentioned that it has antimicrobial properties , which is a plus. Just get the honey.

Ok i got organic honey just

Does it say it's unpasteurized ? That's what you're looking for. The term organic is generic....it has to be raw + unpasteurized. Organic honey can be pasteurized, so check to see what it says on the bottle. Pasteurization kills the good antimicrobial properties in honey. I know it's confusing. :?

It says on bottle cold extracted and cold filtured cold kept and unblended pasteurization is heating it up? That what i read online lol

Yes, pasteurizing would be heating it up. So yours should be good.

I should hope so for £14 lol went to health food specialty shop but my baby worth it if it is not just shed any idea what else it could be hun?

Closer up a bit

The honey will be good whether it's a simple stuck shed or a small burn. Just to be sure, can you post pics of his set up to show the distance between where he basks and the actual basking bulb ?
