Single Scale with Hole?

I just noticed this scale on my bearded's tail? No other irregularities of his skin that I can tell. Any idea? Tail rot? Retained scale?

That scale does look damaged for some reason. I'd keep a close eye on it and take photos regularly so you can compare over time. If it stays as it is, it may not cause any problems, but if the damage appears to start spreading I'd have a vet take a look at it.

I agree with CooperDragon. Are there any loose crickets or other insects in the tank ? For now you can dab it with a mixture of betadine [ 1 part ] mixed with water [ 10 parts]

No crickets. I did find a runaway dubia yesterday.

Do you feed him superworms that might be hiding ? They can chew on things pretty good. Other than that have a very thorough look in the enclosure for any type of sharp object.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
