My 4 year old beardie is currently gravid and extremely active (usually very lazy). She is shedding her head and face currently and I noticed small black lines appearing on her back. I can also see single scales turning white which eventually fall off leaving behind black scales. I am unsure what dead scales look like (or scale rot) so I have posted photos of her black lines. Does anyone know what this could be? Is it just a normal shed? I have never seen such dark scales appear underneath a fresh shed. She has a half log in her enclosure that she sometimes turns around in despite being very cramped for her. Could this possibly damage scales by scraping? I am considering giving her a betadine bath to see if it helps. She had black spots on her scales about a year ago but it was different and she was not shedding. The betadine helped cure this but I never found out what it was, maybe a fungus. Thanks for any help!

Wow, she's a big girl. Was she mated or will these be infertile ? They usually don't get quite so big with slugs, but she is probably pretty hefty even when she's not carrying eggs . :)

The black spots don't look like anything harmful but you can use the betadine again to be proactive.

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!
