I am the proud owner of many reptile friends, but Ozzie is my first bearded dragon. He is around 3 months old. I got him 5 days ago and noticed what looks to be like a black scar on his left leg.
The scales in the area look ugly but it doesn’t seem to bother him. The area is dry like a scab and he can move his leg perfectly fine. He is very active and eats well, actively chasing his feeders but I want to make sure he is in good health. He had this since before I got him so I sent an image to the person who sold him to me and he said it could be a “paradox” but that I should wait for Ozzie to shed and keep a close look on the scar.
I want to mention there are no herpvets where I live and that is why I am seeking help here. Even though Ozzie seems to be in good health, I want to be sure and know if this is a healing wound or if I should take some steps to help him, because the affected area looks very ugly.
I attached an image of the leg.
