We got him today and I started noticing stuck shed and I think some pulled nails? But I have no clue what this is on his belly. Any way I can help him?

The scales look like they are under stuck shed and caved in on themselves. It’s like the scales are holes now. Kinda like honeycomb

Hello,

It looks like essentially old or dry scales that will eventually shed off. You can give a few
warm baths to see if that helps out the scales. They may be retained perhaps, which is a
common occurrence. If the scales are a little dry, you could put some coconut oil on the
scales to moisturize them a little bit.
Are his nails curved, or did he lose a couple of nails?

His nails are fine, they can become a little crooked or even get totally dislodged sometimes from their jumping around.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

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
