Weird black spot on my baby dragon

Toaster · Mar 17, 2018

So i bought a bearded dragon 3 weeks ago. I did notice a little black spot on hes head that did seem a bit off, but i thought it was normal. Today i got a bit curious and looked at it under a microscope and now i don't know what is that thing. I will put 2 links with the image of my bearded dragon. https://imgur.com/a/tDZRN

Pretty cool looking under the mic huh. Perfectly normal. You can read this about it.

That is very cool to see under a microscope! Thanks for posting that. As was mentioned it's a parietal eye and nothing to worry about.

Isn't that cool? I love watching peoples reactions, when I tell them my Beardie has "a third eye". He definitely sees moving objects overhead, light and shadow. Not sure how much detail he sees, but my friend who also has a Beardie has noticed that his boy ducks for cover, if a large bird flies high overhead. These are such amazing creatures! Thanks for the great photos.

here is my boy, Dezi, with his "third eye" somewhat visible. Not as clear as your photo.
