My daughters friend had to get rid of her beardie so of course I welcomed him/her. I was given his tank and everything he's been used to. I only replaced his lighting with appropriate lighting and fixtures. I already have 2 youngins so I know what they need. About 2 weeks of having him his head and neck is turning yellowish with a hint of other colors in there and his tail (which I was told was bitten off by another) is starting to have some blue looking scales as well as his left rear leg. I dont know if something is wrong with him or what the deal is. He was not in great shape when he got here but he poops good and eats good. Can someone check these pics out please? :study:

Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
To me it looks like a fungus-- we need AHBD or Tracie or both of them to look at this-- what did you upgrade is lighting to ?

That does look like shedding scales. I don't see cause for concern. It isn't likely to require intervention so I'd just wait and watch for those scales/patches to start to dry and break free eventually.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
