Please leave the pores alone. The best way to handle/take care of them is by giving them something to rub them on. Any slab of semi course rock will work, i use sandstone. If you try to remove them you can really hurt him. There was a dragon a month or so back that passed after i vet tried to remove them. It is heart breaking and avoidable. This is a pic of my males setup. He has never had an issue with the pores, rocks work.
