Theres this yellow patch that can be seen in the below pictures on my beardies tail, it is bright yellow in colour and doesnt tend to change much he gets warm or cold (whereas the rest of his scales do) he's had this for nearly a month now, it hasn't grown in size at all and no other patches have appeared.
It might be worth noting that he has never that I can remember shed this area of his tail up until recently (had him 6 months) and lately this area has shed alot, but there seems to be at least another laywer of stubborn shed around this patch. Is it possible it's just an area that has shed fully for the first time, im hoping its nothing fungal, I have a seperate thread on the go cause he's been unwell and we're still trying to sort other issues out that he has going on.
Picture of the patch 3 weeks ago:
Picture of it today in the bath:
To give you an idea, this is his "normal" colour:
As the surrounding area has seemed to be stubborn shed for a while now, I gently massaged this area with a toothbrush, including the yellow part, he did not seem in any pain at all in fact he seemed to enjoy it! The area is clearly not painful for him to touch.
I just thought i'd ask the question as he's due to start antibiotic soon for a suspected internal infection and I understand if this is fungal it could make it 10x worse!
Thank you
