There is a dark spot on my baby dragons back. I'm scared it's yellow fungus. Another thing is, we've had him for 3 months and no shed!! He's just a baby! He tries to scratch himself when we spray him with water. It's like he wants to shed but can't. He eats good, is active and appears happy. We bath him every third day or so to try and help. Pooping good etc. I just don't know. So I joined these forums.

Hi Pep...that does look suspicious, hopefully not Y.F. but it's a possibility. How long has it been like that.? You should consider taking him to a qualified reptile vet for a skin scrape if it doesn't change by the time he sheds ....do your homework because a vet that is not experienced with beardies can do more harm than good or at the least waste your money.

He should be growing + shedding, what's his diet like and how much does e eat daily ?

A lot of beardies do a little " back scratch " motion when bathed or sprayed, it's really cute. :) He probably will shed soon.

By the way, you will generally get much quicker responses and many more views in the health + E.R subforums. Best wishes for your little one !

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
