I rescued a baby beardie, and was hellbent on saving him. He had a weird face skin issue, and the more I'm reading the more it sounds like Yellow Fungus. His poor tiny body is covered in skin that is falling off... This is such a disappointment and a huge blow. :cry:

I'm still going to try to save him, and start monistat immediately, but it looks like his chances are grim. Is this something they can usually overcome? His foot was also bitten off before I got him. Poor buddy has hard such a hard life in his short couple of months.

I was so invested into saving him. This just sucks so bad.

Here's my little nubster

And his 'bad side' where the 'fungus' is-

Don't get to scared! It could be a shed that's having trouble coming off. He's tiny so if you give him a bath make sure it's in a sink or a bowl. You could dab at the area with a warm wash cloth also!

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
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
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
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.
