not stuck. just looks like normal nose trumpets. leave them alone and they'll come out on their own.

no problem! in general, stuck shed is not that common, although often worried about. it's important to not try to help them shed or peel the shed off for them. it can damage the scales.

sir henry will sometimes rub up against my hand when his face is shedding. i'll be giving him a dropper of water or a chin scratch and he's all "hold still a minute, i gotta make use of you!" but i always let him be in charge in those moments and i just hold still, never helping him intentionally. he knows what to do and when the shed is ready. other times he'll rub his face against the decor in his tank.

That funny scale isn't a scale at all, it's a photo sensor of sorts, some call it a 3rd eye. It detects changes in light to alert them to overhead predators.

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?

Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
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
