Shed or fungal?

[Srgeorge2177]

Hello, today I noticed a weird patch on my beardie leg and tail. I thought maybe stuck shed so i gave him a long soak in warm water and trying to GENTLY rub that area to see if it would loosen up. It didn’t budge. And I got curious and looked at his tummy, he doesn’t like when I lift him up to look at his belly, and I noticed this weird patch. There are a few other spots on his belly that look like this also. I added pictures, hopefully I did it right I think they updated the website since ive been on last. I tried to get the best picture I could, it a a slightly more yellow than the picture looks so I wasn’t sure if it was shed or YF?

Hi , that's totally normal and requires no intervention at all. Just a few small patches of unshed that lingers much longer on sub adult or adult dragons which makes people feel the need to soak + scrub it off. Just care for your dragon as usual, no extra steps are needed even if it's there for a month or more it will eventually come off.

Thank you so much! I’ve never had this happen with him before so this helped me relax!

You're welcome, I've seen it many times on my own dragons.

Hello!

I agree, that looks like just old dry scales that will eventually shed off! You can try some aloe vera, coconut oil or shea butter to help out
the retained scales.
