My beardie is four years old and has been very healthy. He weights 23oz which is down from 27oz which was his previous high weight last October before brumating.
About a month ago I got really strict with his feeding because he developed some terrible habits. Around the time I first noticed this discoloration I was feeding him squash baby food and I thought it was just dried baby food on his face. But it's not going away, even when I try to wipe it off with a wet towel. That means it's probably not blood either. So either the baby food discolored his scales until the next shed, or something is up.
He has this red mainly around one nostril and his lower lip on the same side. I also noticed a couple of red spots on the top of his head but I can't say for sure if those are new or have always been there. After four years, you think you'd know for sure.
I have not noticed any changes in his behavior, his appetite is good and his activity level is normal. As far as I can tell, nothing out of the ordinary. But I am still trying to get his diet right so he's not eating as much as he is used to eating while I try to break the bad habits. However, there are always greens in his enclosure in case he gets hungry enough to eat them. I'm not starving him.
Anyway, here are photos of the side with the redness, the side without redness and the top of his head. Any feedback?
