So a couple of weeks ago I was in a pet store and as a known Beardie owner (Lucky age 14 mos) I was asked if I wanted to take an injured beardie for free. He was supposedly housed with another beardie
as babies and they fought and both have been recovering from injuries since June. My guy (now named Pancake or Pan for short) fared better than the other guy but was still missing most of the toes on his rear foot and I was told it was likely another would fall off and it since has. They did not give me any care instructions for the injury and I assumed since so much time had elapsed that most of what I was seeing was scarring.
Today my daughter noticed that the underside of his foot is yellow. I am freaking out that he has yellow fungus and that we are going to transfer it to Lucky inadvertantly. Since he has not been with me for long and has not shed - I am also wondering if it is betadine staining and it will come off eventually. I will be going to the store tomorrow with him for their best answers and then possibly to the vet.

Yellow foot:
Unlike my first beardie he is not eating as well as I would like and he is sometimes agressive and does not want to be picked up. I hope that the eating is just transition to a new home and I am hopeful that with repeated handling the attitude will also change. But now if he has yellow fungus I am so worried about handling with another beardie in the house.
Does this look like yellow fungus?
