Paranoia or Illness?
Overview-
As you can see from my post a couple days ago I recently lost 2 baby beardies that I got from PetSmart due to stress (according to the vet) well I started to do research today on beardie illnesses and I may have myself paranoid but was starting to wonder if my 2 adult beardies have yellow fungus. It don't really look like the pictures on the internet and before I started doing research I thought it was just shedding but I would like your opinions.
Med Info-
The last time they had dewormer (panacur) was in April of this year that I got from my vet but he failed to tell me that I should give them a pro-biotic when they are on wormer and/or antibiotics.
Lighting/Food Intake-
My male kept hiding and was not getting enough UVB for a while so I took all the hides out of the cage and rearranged the lighting, so maybe this has something to do with it. Neither of them are eating crickets right now. The male will eat veggies only if I hand feed them to him and he did eat a few worms. The female ate a good many worms a couple days ago but won't eat any greens or crickets. Big mama also use to eat her rep cal bearded dragon food but won't touch it now. They both will lick baby food mixed with high protein recovery RS off their noses though. I think that they are just sick of crickets/veggies and that I am just paranoid b/c they both were great eaters and this is just recent. And I'm sure if they had yellow fungus from the meds in April it would've progressed a lot since then. I thought they were healthy until I started my research today lol, the vet told me Big Mama was so maybe you guys can help ease my mind.
Tank set ups-
10.0 reptisun desert UVB bulb
Basking temps around 100° F
Tile flooring (no substrate)
Sanitization-
Feces is cleaned up daily (most of the time as soon as it happens).
I use ammonia + water or Wipe out 1 (which has ammonium as an ingredient).
Each time they poo I remove them from their cages, wipe up the poo, and then sanitize it with Wipe out 1, let it dry, and then return them to their enclosure.
Once a week I remove everything and use ammonia + water to clean the entire enclosure and it's contents.
Can't think of any other info, so if there's anything else just ask please.
Pics-
Lover Boy-
His skin has a green tinge to it on the underside of his tail, legs, and belly and his vent looks a little odd at the top, like it is slightly irritated.
Big Mama-
She has a white patch on her belly.
I just had her at the vet a few days ago to check for parasites, they did a fecal exam but the vet said she was fine but I wonder if they missed something since they weren't looking for it.
