Is this scale rot?

I've been away for the last 2 and a half days and came home to check on my beardies. I picked Baby up and happened to glance at her belly and saw a ton of brown, shriveled up scales. Her belly was fine before I left, and she's always had the occasional black or brown shriveled scale on her belly (but nowhere near as many in the pic I attached) so I don't know if it's some sort of scale rot or if she's been rubbing her belly on her log hide. She sits on it all day and glass dances, but I'm not sure if that's what scraped up scales would look like. Does this look like any sort of fungis or scale rot? It doesn't smell necrotic at all.

Do any areas on her belly look wounded? Since the dark scales are so far apart, I'd guess that it's just a natural coloring or a very uneven shed. My dragon has a similar pattern of seemingly random darker scales on his belly.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
