Hello,
This is my first bearded dragon, I've had him for a little over a week. He's about 3-4 months old and about 9 inches long. I noticed today that he has a dark line on the side of his belly that isn't a stress mark. I'm not sure what it is and I'm concerned about it. I'm thinking it might be a scratch but there's no blood. It is raised a little bit. If anyone knows what this is please let me know.
His basking bulb is on top of the mesh top, he would have had to crawl upside down on the top or get close somehow and I don't see how he would do that. I'm not sure what could have scratched him, maybe a splinter from the log? I'll post his setup, I don't remember what the basking bulb is but my thermometer (soon getting a temp gun) usually says about 100-106, and I have a reptisun 10.0 T5 HO 22" UVB bulb.
