Hey guys went to the vet about 2 weeks ago and my Amber has a slight scab on her chin which the vet noticed. He said to keep a eye on it and it should heal within the next shed or 2. She has a thick slab of shed stuck on it and she is rubbing on her hides logs platform hammock etc etc. Should I stop her or allow her to do her thing? I just worry she could open it up I mean it's a tiny blackish dot right on her chin it is hindering her from doing anything. She is eating being active running around just being herself etc

do you have any pictures?
That's the best I could get is her lower jaw as you can see the black part and the the thick shed

Left is her with the shed and right is what she just got off

That's totally normal and nothing to worry about. Dragons shed in many crazy patterns and it's common for owners to worry . Remember to never pull at it, just leave it and it will come off in time. :)
Pretty dragon BTW !

Thank you! She is a cutie I felt so bad when the vet noticed a scab I played it back in my head of how it happened

i can’t really see anything, but she’s so cute! if it’s just a small scab it should heal up in a few days/weeks but make sure that her tank is staying clean and that you’re keeping an eye on it just in case. if anything changes or it gets worse you can always talk with your vet to double check 😄

She shed it off today I was just concerned she would open or make it worse by rubbing on everything in sight 😄

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
