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

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.

Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
Please help. My beardie is my baby and I am worried she may be egg bound but I can't tell. She is over 2 yrs old and has never laid an egg. She has been swollen for two days and can't tell if she may be impacted or egg bound. Please help.
