Hi i have a beardie about 10 months old. He isn’t wanting his crickets and not so much his roachea and worms as of lately. The only thing I see is a lil black speck on the tip of his tongue and a lighter color around it. He isn’t eating much of his salads. He eats more when I hand feed him. He is staying on the cooler side of his tank more. He has been glass surfing. I did get a puppy and I am not sure if he is stressed or sick. He is not out of his tank near the dog. Any help would be appreciated. Oh and I have been using Betadine/iodine on his mouth since I seen the spot 2 times a day.
Is it mouth rot

Please post a pic of the dragons mouth --- please go over the surface basking temps and how your taking them-- temps should be 95-100 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- your UVB is a coil or a long tube fixture please?
Hi there -
Just to address one small part of your post - as far as the actual physical feature of some bearded dragons tongue’s - a healthy tounge can be pink with a tiny black dot at the tip - with a lighter shade of pink / white around it.
I don’t know what your dragons entire tongue/mouth looks like - but that very specific feature is normal. We have seen it prominent on some beardies and not so much with some others.

I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.
So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
