Wierd Skin Issue

[wingnuts]

Hi,

Our local technical center's small animal management class has received the beardie in the pictures as an owner surrender. They have beardie experience, but the skin issue he has is not anything they have seen before. So they contacted me because I have helped them before with other beardie related issues and I have not seen this either.

I would really appreciate your experienced opinions as to both what it might be and how it would be treated. I was sent the pictures today and will actually not see him myself until tomorrow night.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Its hard to tell with such small pics but the first thing I though of was a scar from a burn. It could be a infection/fungus but we really need a larger, closer pic.

Gail--I know the pictures are not great. They are pictures that the instructor sent me today. I will be going out for an open house and the technical center tomorrow night and I will take my camera with me so that I can get some decent pictures and from a few different angles.

I had pondered scarring too, but as you said with such small pictures it is hard to tell.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Looks almost like white out from the pictures, can you get a clear closer image?
Getting a skin biopsy of the area would be the only 100% way to know what and or if something like fungus is there.

I will get better pictures tomorrow night--those were taken with the instructors cell phone and texted to me.

I am wondering if it has Piebald genes

Thats where my mind went when I first saw the photos.. But arnt they a bit rare?

I would try washing him first XD It really does look like someone deliberately put stuff on him, like white-out (being that this is an owner surrender). Then go from there, haha.I thought of a fungus, put that is very strange looking!

Piebald dragons are only produced by 2 breeders of my knowledge and they can't produce them regularly. If you could post a bigger pic, we could help more.
