Hi, Everybody,
My beardie Stryker is now almost 11 months old. I'm pretty sure he's a male. Anyways, my granddaughter has been resposible for baths the last couple of months, so I don't know when this happened, though I didn't notice it when I handled him last week.
He has a discoloration slightly around his vent that just looks like an outline around the vent and on the left side of his vent a brownish-red splotch that is the size of an adult's thumbprint. He seems a little sesitive when you touch it. it's not scraped or bleeding. It looks like dried blood, but there was no blood in his cage-though plenty of crickets he wouldn't eat. He eats mealies (I know, he shouldn't) He poops every other day or so. Sometimes in his bath. He gets a bath every 2-3 days and I always caution my grands to dry him off thoroughly, so there won't be any yellow fungus. I don't think it's fecal matter either. We keep a clean cage.
Does anybody have any idea what this could be?
I don't have the money for a vet visit right now. He doesn't seem to be in distress. He eats his mealies and salad. I did give him 2 blueberries the other day, but he's had them before. Could it be stain?
I need some advice and/or opinions because I'm worried now! :?
