So, my beardie has what I believe to be a pus pocket on his snout right above his nostrils, and it seems to be getting bigger. The pus itself is clear with a yellow tint, and it seems to bother him when I get near it and/or touch it with a q tip, should I go to a vet? or let it be? Suggestions on home remedies maybe?

he does get really close, how would I be able to tell if it's a burn? it seems to be spreading if it is a burn how do I treat it and prevent it from happening again?

Spreading? Not good- need to see it first- burns don't spread- inorder to help post pic of it--- Tracie drache613 our vet mod or ahbd would be able to help but they need to see it

Hello,

Where did you post your picture? I am not seeing it at the moment.
How long has the nostril area looked this way?
Is it bumps/blisters or just odd looking skin?

That just looks like a small area of unshed skin, I see my beardies like that many times. Dab a paper towel on it , you'll probably see that it's not wet but is just skin.

Can you dab it now + post a pic of the Q-tip ? Just want to see if it's just soft scales.

I dont wanna forcibly bust the pocket, I only swabbed it when it looked wet but when I fer home I can I just dont know what to do with it because it's obviously hurting him

I'm 99% sure that's just a shed coming off, beardies generally don't like those areas to be touched. They don't like anywhere near the eye being touched , doesn't mean that it hurts at all.

Hello,

I agree, it does look like it is going to shed. There is a layer of fluids between the unshed
skin/scales & the newly developed scales underneath which is likely what you are seeing &
feeling.
If he isn't too close to his basking light then it really can't be any type of burn.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
