My dragon

[Sarahj323]

My beardies nose is really getting bad I've been trying to help it but I don't know what else to do how do I get it from not looking like it does he keeps smacking it off the glass rubbing it and now I think he's having problems shedding his nose and I don't want to rub it and make it sore or anything cuz it does look like it has an open sore

Please post a pic of the dragon -- and your lighting in the tank --- basking temps what are they and how are you taking them? Digital probe thermometers are the best

I am going to have AHBD take a look at him ---- also please make sure you have a piece of basking decor directly under your UVB for a T 5 8-10 inches -- if its a T 8 it needs to be unobstructed and directly over your basking decor 6-8 inches ---- they expire in 6 months I recommend 5 -- T 5's expire in approx 1 year I recommend a month prior to

Por thing, that's a nasty sore and probably should be seen by a vet. For now you can put raw, unpasteurized honey on it.

There should be no night lights - dragons like cool and dark 65-75- your disturbing his sleep w/ the light on at night and colored bulbs are harmful to the eyes
