retain shed or fungus

[leslie179]

Hey guys ive got this beardie for month now. And at first i thought his front paw finger was healing so i didnt pay much attention to it. however i realized it might be stuck shed that might cause him to lose the finger. Should i bring him to the vet asap? Also hus hind leg have some stuck shed but there are dark spots so im wondering if its fungus or is it just some stuck shed.

He's not done shedding, they shed in patches unlike a snake.

the dark spots are those part of the stuck shed too? for the front finger I thought it was healing but its nearly been a month is that the stuck shed too? Is it too late?

I think if you were to give him a bath a couple times a week and mist him once a day, it might just take care of itself. Misting will soften the stuck shed and make it easier for him to get rid of it.

Hello,

It does look like retained shed to me also. Sometimes the shed turns yellow or appears dirty before it finally sheds off. You can give a few baths to help try & loosen it, that should take care of it.
The darker spot on the finger, how long has that been there? Are you sure it isn't something she has run through & dried on?
Her finger doesn't look necrotic or anything though, just looking at the picture. Does it seem to bother or hurt her?
