I’ve noticed my bearded dragon has probably 6 or so scales that seem to be dying.
This was the first one I noticed. Whenever I first got him it was squishy and eventually the point shriveled up and fell off.
There are three all in a row on his back. I just noticed them. They are slightly wrinkled and very squishy. Whenever I touch them he flinches.
(The yellow mark on his tail is just highlighter from the Breeder whenever we got him)
This is what started to worry me. I found a patch near the base of his tail that has a few other strange scales around it. The rest are localized only to the large scales running down his back. This patch is also squishy.
Also the 5 new patches of scales on his back have just appeared after he was scratching himself all over his tank cause his tail was shedding. I don’t think the are all from damage of rubbing thought.
I’m just worried it’s some infection or something bad. He has no issues eating or being active. I know he has a few parasites and those are currently being treated but other than that I can’t think of what would cause these scales.
