pale face + claw ...new to this!

[marlimarbles]

Hey everyone, i recently rescued a beardy from someone. myself, i dont know TOO much about them, but i knew more than the previous owner and decided to try and help him out.
he went from a 10 g in sand to my 40 with tiles... basking spot is normally anywhere from 99-103. cool side is about 84-85.
not sure what his lights where like in his old tank but i doubt they were like that..

anyways, the other day i noticed a pale spot on his face. its surrounding his mouth, and im not sure what it is!!
then i noticed that on his left claw it looks like all the scales have been pushed down, or rubbed in..

can anyone tell me what could cause this and what i can do to help him?

Hello,
Don't worry! That grey spot isn't bad. It just shows that part of the skin is going to shed soon.

Congratulations on being a new beardie slave!!! What are you measuring your temps with, and what type and brand of uvb lighting do you have? He is a handsome little guy!! Great job getting rid of the sand and getting him in a bigger viv!!
