Hello! I am just wondering if anyone can help me tell what this brown spot is on my bearded dragons beard. I think he is trying to shed his beard, as it does look a bit less shiny, and his head is also dull, and he has lost some shed from the tip of his nose. but I noticed recently there is a strange brown spot on his beard. I haven't tried to clean it off yet, since I just noticed it a few moments ago, but wanted to see what you all thought. I will attach a picture below.

Thank you for you time

Well I could be wrong but it sure looks like pre shed to me and just a darker spot kind of poking through the rest of the area that’s in shed. Most likely not something to worry about maybe wait until his beard is done shedding and I bet you won’t be able to see that spot anymore but I’m not 100% sure?

Well I call it that might not be an actual term lol 😂. You can just start to see the skin slightly dull and then become cloudy until it’s almost white and it’s just a build up until it actually starts to shed off. Once you’ve seen it enough times you start to see the progression your dragon goes through before the skin actually sheds.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
