Spur or dots on my dragons underside.

[Kryptek]

Not 100 percent sure what these are but they were not there before. He's been in braumation and I took him out for a bath and found these. Also he has some unshed skin on his tail and belly. How can I help remove it and what are these dots

Those dots are femoral pores, and they are perfectly normal. They are much more prominent in male dragons. Daily baths during a shed will help your dragon shed more easily.

Thanks, Yea he's a 2 year Maby 3 year old male. I adopted him last year and he's been braumating for almost 3 months now. He's getting more active now so I gave him a bath and noticed this.

He's lost a lot of weight during braumating as he's only ate some green's and many 200 crickets during his session. Do you think I should fatten him up with some wax worms or ssomething before going back on a cricket diet?

Hm, he shouldn't really lose weight during a normal brumation. First thing I'd do is get a fecal done and check for parasites, as they may be a cause of the weight loss...

 

[Kryptek]

He hasn't lost alot of weight and he's only pooped Maby 2 or 3 times since braumating. I tried to get him to poop earlier by putting him in warm water but no luck which is weird because it usually works. I was concerned with gut rot. But he's acting somewhat normal again so I just order some Phoenix worms to see how he likes them. Maby after he eats a few times he will be ready for a poop.

 

[Jaskotch]

if he's big enough for 'em, superworms are a good way to beef up!

 

[Taterbug]

He shouldn't loose more than 7-10% of his weight.

Fatty food like wax worms, for the sake of fat/weight is not any better for a dragon than for us.
