Here is a picture https://imgur.com/a/32qsOvg He is fine other than this black spot. He is eating but is eating a little less. Ever since a year ago he doesn't poop much so I just give him a bath once a week and then he does usually. He looks fine, he acts fine. But I am still worried. Any responses are much appreciated.

Hi there, can you post another pic straight on of the spot ? Are you positive it' not a poo stain ? You can get a small tube of antifungal cream like Lamisil or Monistat at the drug store just in case it's fungal. If it gets bigger or if you're worried you can have a qualified reptile vet look at it. Is your beardie's name Tacko ? I know that's a VERY tall NBA player. :)

Yes I will post another picture thank you for responding. His name is Tacko! I like the Celtics a lot and my Bearded Dragon and I watch the games together when they are on. https://imgur.com/a/wZo97K7 Sorry I know it is blurry. Let me know if you need another pic. Also I think I am positive. He has not pooped in a while :( A week about. Even though I gave him some apple and a bath and massaged his stomach. He usually poops about once a week. So Im hoping that he will poop today :)

So he likes the Celtics too, ha ha ! Anyway , that pic is too close + blurry so take one from slightly further away if you can. And if he's close to adult or is adult size it's not uncommon for beardie's to go without a bowel movement for a week or more. Some natural laxatives are canned pumpkin, baby foods like sweet potato, green bean or squash or some sugar free applesauce. Raw honey can help, too.

I'm not sure what it is but it doesn't look serious. If you are worried you could have a good reptile vet check it out.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
