Do these spots look like mites? She had them for quite some time. I soak her weekly and she has been eating.

Looks to me not like mites, but like something larger is biting your dragon.
Which insects do you feed? Any chance there are insects free in the enclosure, biting the dragon when resting/ at night? Crickets are known for doing so.

Mites are, as Chris. mentioned, small, black (or brown/ tan) and moving, and they don't leave wounds like that. Dragons tend to scratch when there are mites, but the wounds from that are also looking different usually (elongated scratch "cuts").

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
