His name's Sebastian, he's about 2-3 months old and recently I found yellowing around his mouth, chin, and "ears", he has been shedding recently in the past few weeks to a month but other than that, he's been normal. His cage isn't filthy but we do take a week or more to clean it out if he poops since we're so busy. Does this look like the fungus or am I paranoid?? PLEASE HELP
I don't see anything that looks like yellow fungus either, but I will advise you to take the 3 minutes it takes to reach into his tank and throw out any bowel movements when he does them, otherwise he will end up sick with parasites, worms, or a bacterial infection and will need to see a reptile vet which will take a lot more time and cost money. Seriously, not trying to be a smart ass, but you shouldn't wait over a week to clean any poops out of his tank, that can be very unhealthy to him and to you, especially when his lights are cooking it and putting fumes into the air. I reach into each of my 3 beardie's enclosures once a day, usually in the morning, and clean out any poops, and then if later in the day I see any I pull them out too. All 3 tanks take less than 5 minutes, and I completely disinfect all 3 once a week. It's just good hygiene for him and for you.

No, you're right. I definitely need to step it up on keeping his cage clean and not making excuses for it. I'm glad he looks ok here. But this is definitely a wake up call.
My wife and I refer to those poops as "land mines", lol! Fortunately one of us is always home during the day and, able to clear the mine field before any damage occurs (generally within minutes of actual placement). Peaches prefers to poop in her bath or outside in the grass.
Your little buddy is quite handsome and, has that, "I'm keeping an eye on you Hooman!" Look on his face, lol!
