Stuck shed or fungus?Stuck shed or fungus?]Got him around 1 month ago he was 7 inches. Now about 9 inches and almost 2 sheds in I noticed this dark spot on his back it's been 2 weeks since last shed and I'm not sure what it is. This is my first beardie so if anyone has experience or can give me advice I would highly appreciate it just has me worried. Baths are given every other day

Re: Stuck shed or fungus?Hi there, probably just a patch of shed but cut out the baths , if it's fungal baths may spread it. Once he goes through another shed you'll see more clearly what it is. To be proactive get a small tube of Lamisil or Monustat antifungal cream. If it IS fungus it will work on it and if it's just shed it will moisten it enough to get it off.

Re: Stuck shed or fungus?Hi there,
That last picture does look like it has a high probability of being some type of fungal infection. Doing the lamisil treatments like AHBD suggested should help. -Brandon Follow along with all my beardies. Check out my thread here!: Claud's Crew
P.S. We have lots of pictures ![]()
Re: Stuck shed or fungus?
Question when applying the cream he's ok to be under the light? Or apply before sleep?
Re: Stuck shed or fungus?Yes, it's safe to put on any time.
Re: Stuck shed or fungus?

Re: Stuck shed or fungus?Thanks guys will keep it updated. His shed is coming on now so we will see if it comes off with it
Re: Stuck shed or fungus?Not much but it's only been a couple of days. A bit less crusty like Cooper said but see how it does in a week or so, it should look better by then.
Re: Stuck shed or fungus?Hello,
It does look a bit fungal to me, also. Being proactive & using the lamisil right now should help out since it appears to be very mild. He isn't too close to his basking bulb is he? Tracie
Re: Stuck shed or fungus?
I'd say the highest spot is about 6 to 7 inches away and the basking area is about 10 11 inches away
