]Got him around 1 month ago he was 7 inches. Now about 9 inches and almost 2 sheds in I noticed this dark spot on his back it's been 2 weeks since last shed and I'm not sure what it is. This is my first beardie so if anyone has experience or can give me advice I would highly appreciate it just has me worried. Baths are given every other day
Hi there, probably just a patch of shed but cut out the baths , if it's fungal baths may spread it. Once he goes through another shed you'll see more clearly what it is. To be proactive get a small tube of Lamisil or Monustat antifungal cream. If it IS fungus it will work on it and if it's just shed it will moisten it enough to get it off.

That last picture does look like it has a high probability of being some type of fungal infection. Doing the lamisil treatments like AHBD suggested should help.

It does look a bit fungal to me, also. Being proactive & using the lamisil right now should
help out since it appears to be very mild.
He isn't too close to his basking bulb is he?
