Hi all. I’m starting to get concerned about this black coloration on my dragon Neo. It looks like stuck shed and it’s been like this for over a month. I thought he would eventually shed it off but it’s not changing. I’ve given him warm baths and rubbed the area with a toothbrush but I don’t know what else to do?
He’s just now turning one year old and I read it could be a sign he wants to mate? The internet is impossible you’ll find a million different answers for a symptom. But common sense tells me he’s having a shedding issue. I know you’re all going to ask about his husbandry let’s just say I’ve done my research. He has a new UVB bulb inside his enclosure, proper basking temperature and a nice thermal gradient from 98F to 84F. Two hides, one in the hot and cool sides. This is not due to lack of care, I obsess over him daily.
Attached is a photo of his back (he’s trying to dig in the corner) and a photo of his enclosure
Thanks
