I don’t think he’s shed that area very recently.. half of his head and his neck are about to shed and it looks like around his eyes and mouth may be getting ready to shed as well. He just had his tail shed the other day.

Ok, I’ll try that. I gave him a bath last night, but I didn’t want to scrub it or anything in case it hurts, but I’ll try a tooth brush tonight, thank you!

God, I hope that’s not what this is... I just noticed this off colored patch last night. It’s not sensitive to touch, or anything like that. The rest of his body is normal. He was being kinda sluggish, but since changing his lights, he’s been much more active! I was really feeling pretty good...

Oh gosh, I apologize.. I must’ve said something misleading as I haven’t completely stopped calcium and multivitamins but I did decrease it because that’s what someone whom claimed to be an expert said caused chalky urate... They told me it hurts them to pass it, so, of course I didn’t want that...

So, I’ve contacted the nearest vet which is like 3 hours away.. I was just hoping I might could get a little more advice while I’m waiting to get him in... Are there ANY other symptoms of kidney issues that I need to be aware of? His appetite started slowing when winter arrived. He will still...

Ok. His thirst seemed to increase when I started using a CHE. I was paranoid that the temps may not stay as high over the winter, so I got a CHE bulb for night, and to help keep his temps right during the day. Could that have anything to do with it? Also, he doesn’t drink when he gets a bath...

So, I read that a hard urate (that’s what I’m told the white part of the Poo is) could indicate dehydration and/or too much calcium. Ok, so for about a month, Rango ate a lot of crickets with calcium/vitamin powder because that’s the only way he’d eat them. I switched to dubias almost 2 months...

U kno, actually he has been stretching his beard and his hind legs just shed. I’ve not seen mucus, or heard any noises... off topic, but I do wanna mention what a great sport he’s become! I inspect him, look at his teeth, mouth, belly, and legs and he just sits there and lets me lol :) Thank you...

I’ve noticed the last few days Rango will sometimes have his mouth just slightly open while basking. I know how he looks when he’s regulating his body temp, and this isn’t it. His lips are barely parted. He doesn’t do it all the time, but enough so that it’s gotten my attention. I generally...

Thanks everyone! He’s calmed down since I took down the wrapping paper.. I guess he doesn’t like reindeer?

I’ve never seen Rango bob his head until tonight...and he’s going to freaking town with it! I put some wrapping paper up in his viv as a temporary wallpaper because I keep hearing they don’t need to be able to see their reflection. I did that about 2 days ago so idk if he’s slow or what, but he...

Thanks everyone! My gosh, there’s so much misinformation out there! I’m glad I found this group

Ugh, it seems just as I’m getting fairly confident in my ability to care for my beardie, I see a post that reminds me that I still suck. I read that squash should be cooked, and I can understand why! It’s very hard and I would think it may be hard to chew/digest, so, I cooked up some butternut...

Omg I feel so bad for him... it looked like he already had some skin that resembled a plug come from his nose and that little thin layer of skin is what was left. I just gave him a warm bath, as I noticed some more shed around his mouth and eyes.. Poor little thing! I hope it works itself out...
