Hey guys,
Kinda new here, I have a beardie named spike, I was giving him a bath today when I noticed something odd by his vent. There was a large dried poop buildup there and after soaking for a bit it broke up mostly except for one final piece. However this piece looks directly attached to his skin and it's kinds just dangling there pulling back the skin itself. Underneath doesn't look too bad didn't notice any yellow fluid or even blood. It's just raw I guess is the best way to put it. I've attached some pictures so you can see what I mean (Warning kinda gross) but any help would be much appreciated. Thankyou very much.

That looks nasty and needs a vet asap. He'll need some kind of a ointment and possibly oral antibiotics.
In the mean time, get some raw honey and apply that to wound. Keep it clean. If he is on a loose substrate, remove it and put down paper towel

Thanks for the reply. I figured it would be a vet visit I'll get him there as soon as possible. Thankyou very much

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
