Hi, I'm new to this forum. I've just seen that my bany has his tail a little injured. Its like a 2mm place where there are no scales, I'm really worried about infections so i would lke to know what should be done to him, its not bleeding or anything. Thanks for anyone that helps me out.

Hi - that looks like maybe it was nipped or pinched. You can put raw unfiltered honey or manuka honey on it to ward off infection IF you ensure no feeders that would be attracted to it will be left in his tank with him. Otherwise just keep it clean and keep an eye on it. That last tiny bit may shrivel and fall off on its own. Same care to avoid infection, or you can try a bit of neosporin/triple antibiotic ointment on it.

Agreed with the advice above.
How did this happen?

Take care not to leave crickets in the tank overnight, they can nibble and bite at your dragon.

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
