earwax?

[nesta's mommy]

so ya know the wholes aka ears on your beardie's head ? i was just looking into nesta's "ears" and i saw some sort of "wax" on one side but not as much as the other. do these wholes need to be cleaned out or anything?

is it a film?? All beardies have a film inside their ears. I think it's to protect their ears or something. I know that we just have to leave it alone

haha i know this is a weird question but i really appreciate your response. it is a little filmy really just looks like earwax and its just not as much on the other side that's why i was nervous.

yes, its jsut a "film" or skin that covers the internal membranes of teh ear. I believe if you were to suncture it, it woudl cause great pain and discomfort to yoru beardie.
If one side looks thicker than teh otehr, than yoru beardie probobly hasnt shed that side yet ( and yes tehy shed their ear skin too..I thought it was pretty cool when lilly shed hers )
