So I've just recently gotten what I believe to be a three year old bearded from a family friend she didn't think she was taking proper care of him. I've moved him to a larger tank and he has always lived with walnut grinds so I've put a fresh bag in with him. He seems happy she eats alot. But looks small to be three years old. Now to my main concern the tip of his nose is discolored and has been for the week that I've had him. But as of this morning it has appeared to spread toward his eye. I'm sure its just a shed but would like to make sure nothing is wrong with my little guy.
Also loose substrate is not the healthiest. Hard to keep clean and breeds bacteria. Much better to use paper towels during quarantine and slate tiles in permanent home later.
Perfect post for me to fall upon! I was seeking info on what might be going on with MY new 3 year rescue BD and looked at your pic and wow! It's like we have the same dragon, same coloration, same whitish patch, everything! Glad to know!
