Crater on back

[myra4]

My bearded dragon got a scab and now it’s lifted and sometimes fall off but never fully heals. Does anyone now exactly what it is or how to treat it?

Try some raw unfiltered honey- no crickets in the tank please - they will go for the wound- what kind of uvb? Coil or long tube fixture?

It’s a dome light fixture above her tank.

So it's a coil? Please get rid of it - you want a long tube fixture like a zoo med w/ a reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb or a Arcadia pro T 5 w a 12% bulb found at PetSmart or a sunblaster nano tech w a reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb-- I can post links if you need them-- these are all good for a 40 + gallon tank - your screen will determine where the uvb is placed- this is crucial for your dragons health-- you want a 24" fixture

Hello,

How long has that area on her back been there?
I agree, raw unpasteurized or manuka honey should help out in healing for her. Does it seem to
bother her at all?
