My Bearded Dragon, Ozzy, has started to shed today. Lately i have noticed that the flap of skin that protects the ear has been opening up around the sides. At first i thought it was a shed, but then i noticed another flap of skin behind it that looks more like a piece of shed skin pushing his membrane out, now im getting kind of worried. I will try to posta picture but im not sure if i can. I have bathed him many times these past weeks and i honestly couldnt even tell you the last time he shed. Anyways, just looking for some pointers, im not sure if its even an emergency but i can tell you hes at least 8-10 years old

False alarm. I was really worried though, as i was trying to get a picture his ear plug came out. Turns out it was just a shed, but did indeed look more like his membrane popping out. Thanks for your attention.

I rescued a dragon with severe MBD that was a total mess, and he had a retained shed in his ear. It freaked me out, too, because I knew not to pull at it or try to get it out, but since I had just got him and he was so neglected I was worried about how thick it looked. Within a week it came out on its own and he looks perfectly normal. It's still mysterious territory for me, the actual inner ear part. :shock:

This sound very similar to my situation

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
