Hi, I have a juvenile or baby bearded dragon, I'm not sure which. We're assuming he's a boy because of dark scales around his jaw. He is about 6 months old and he is a good beardie and loves to be held. He has shed recently. The shedding went fine. We give him 6-12 crickets every Wednesday and Sunday, and since we got him a little less than a month ago, we're still working on getting him more each week. He usually eats parsley with flukers juvenile bearded dragon mix sprinkled on top. He loves being held but he doesn't go in his water bowl much. We have a rock that he loves to bask on. We don't have a thermometer yet, but he is always very energetic and he has only opened his mouth while basking twice as far as we know. He has a 10.0 UVB light, which is the best option according to most people I've talked to. He has a red light, too. He sleeps soundly at night with it.
What's been concerning me is faint yellow patches under his tail and thighs. Other discussions I've seen about this topic had darker spots. The yellow stops abruptly at about half his tail and a little less than his ankles. None on his underbelly, though. He's still very active and eats his food. When I pick him up he'll resist a bit by squirming backwards through my hand. I'm very concerned if it's a fungus. You can tell where the yellow is from the scales because they seem dull and almost stuck together and very smooth looking. Here's some pics. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, I will answer with what I know ?
