HAS MY BEARDIE GOT YELLOW FUNGUS

[DrogonandRex]

Im a relatively new beardie owner, yesterday evening whilst handling my beloved beardie (hes around 5 months old) i noticed he had a dark spot on the back of his hind leg, I cant say I noticed it being yellow beforehand and i handle him everyday. Could this be yellow fungus or can anyone suggest what else it could be? He's eating fine and not lethargic or anything like that? He also let me touch it fine, i tried to wipe it off with a cotton bud but it doesn't seem to be on his scales and im reluctant to bathe him today in case it spreads through moisture? Lastly, hes also not housed with any other dragons so cant be a bite? please help!!

Hi there, that looks more like a tiny spot of dirt or poo or maybe an inset bite but nothing serious. Are there any loose crickets or locusts possibly hiding in the enclosure ?

Hi there,

I agree, no yellow fungus there

I agree as well,

I don't see any signs of Y.F, it most likely is a bit of dirt/poop, or a cricket bite. Or if your dragon is like mine and likes to sit in their salads, then a bit of salad that got stuck to that area.

I would try to gently scrub it off with a toothbrush in the bath if you can. It should come off. But thankfully it is not yellow fungus!
