Hi, let's see if we can help out a bit.
Are the two females in separate enclosures ?
What are you using to treat the fungus ?
Are you offering a pro-biotic to help with good tummy flora?
What temps are you measuring in the no longer gravid females tank?
How are you measuring ?
Do you have some betadine iodine at home ?

Hi.. yes the females are in separate enclosures, they both have layed two clutches in a month. I am using Canesten for the fungus ( Drache613 recommended it) I also talked to Tracie about the temps and they are good. I dont know what pro biotic or betadine iodine is. Whats wrong with her skin ??? it looks like its turning a darker color and then disappearing . I have 2 male beardie which one a rescue and the other was my first dragon that i bought , In total i have 4 beardies , nothing is wrong with any of them but they all play and bath together. I dont want them to get sick too. Please Please help me.

A pro-biotic is something that restores good gut flora when antibiotics or other medicines are used. Betadine is an iodine.
Go with what Tracie suggests, she's the bomb !

I would also not let the females see the males anymore because this could incourage them to lay more eggs.

ok um how much of the betadine iodine do use and how ?????
Tracie didnt suggest anything for this new issue, she just confirmed that my temps were right, she hasnt seen that there is a new problem yet. What is wrong with her skin it looks like its chipping off. Even her spikes are falling off.

You use it in the bath. Once she has drank her fill, pooped or what not, just add a drop or two to the warm water, so it looks like a weak tea. allow to soak for 10 or more minutes, then off to the basking for her.
This will help. Also, after all dried off, you can use sap from an organically raised aloe on the effected areas.

ok thank you but , do you know what wrong with her skin ??? why is it doing this, I have no idea what shes been through at her old home. I can only imagine since she used to be very aggressive, infact she actually tried to bite me. She's friendly now.

I would communicate that to Tracie. She is much better equipped than I for this sort of thing.

Hello,

I need some pictures to evaluate that. If her scales are looking that way, it is either a bad shed, an injury, a fungal issue, or severe malnutrition. Normally scales should not just "fall off" for no reason.
