Hi I was wondering if this might be scale rot or something else? My beardie had a raised scale on his back and I thought it might be from a weird shed or something so I left it alone and was monitoring it for any changes. It eventually fell off and kind of looks like a wound now? Then i noticed another small, dark, somewhat raised scale next to it. thanks in advance for your opinions and advice.

Put some silver sulfadiazene cream [ from drug store ] on the spots or try some raw honey. I'd keep both on hand and try them on different days. If it gets worse at all find an experienced reptile vet to have a look.

Hello,

It could be fungal in nature, possibly. As AHBD suggested, try some silver cream or raw honey to see if that
helps out. The vet could culture the skin area to test for fungal issues, too.

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
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
