Hello!
I rescued a bearded dragon from a mutual friend about 2 week's ago.
When we went to the person's house to get him I knew right away he was not taken care of well.
They told me that he was only fed mealworm's and he had no UVB's basically his entire life.
He was never fed veggie's so he is kind of eerie of them now.
Over the past couple of week's I have been feeding him dusted cricket's, I put 2 UVB's on his terrarium so that its always on contact during his Day cycle, and have been getting him to grasp the concept that vegies/fruits are food too.
Thing's seem to be getting better but I want to know about his scale problem.
He literally has green scale's. They don't look like a fungus, they have no odor, but I'm not sure and that is why I'm asking here.
To me it look's like he is way too far behind in shed's. Almost as if he has layers of skin in some place's.
I have tried giving him a short bath but he hates it.
Anyways! Here are some pictures!
Any info help's!
Thanks
