I also should mention that I'm aware that sand is not good for her, and neither are the aspen chips. I only leave the chips in because she used likes to visit my corn snake (they get along quite well and all is supervised) and fall asleep in her substrate. she is handfed, including crix. I made sure all of the shaving are free of dust and small particles. As for the sand, I'm planning on removing it and replacing with reptile carpet or another type of substrate similar to dirt. Don't worry, I won't use walnut! Is rodent bedding safe? She really enjoys fabric. I could also fill it with old socks or a torn up shirt if that's okay.
Please keep the snake and your hatchling apart ....
They should never be together EVER.
Remove the particulate bedding and lay down kitchen paper toweling as the substrate : MUCH SAFER and very easy clean up and cheap.
The photos are not good enough to see much of anything .
How do you know it's Yellow Fungus , have you had a vet examine your beardie AT ALL , and take swabs ?
IF she has a fungal infection in her skin ,
bathing her is the WORSE thing you can do. There are ointments that a vet will prescribe to treat these.
If it is YF ,it's very infectious between reptiles - another reason apart from safety from being eaten to keep the snake and beardie apart !!
Since there appear to lots of issues going on , husbandry (feeding, feeders), etc , I think a thorough and DETAILED run down of everything you do and her viv setup is needed so we can help you and guide you.
Essentially need much more information and details on your beardie's setup and your husbandry otherwise we can't even hazard a guess.

If you work through it methodically , the chances are their are likely a lot of issues that need to be tweeked or changed and they will pop right out at you, if you can give very detailed answers we will then be in a position to offer help. Is impossible to help you if you don't provide thorough details .
It may prove necessary to involve a reptile vet if your bearded dragon has serious health issues. Are you in a position to afford to take him to a good reptile vet should this prove necessary ?
