So I've noticed what I thought was un shed skin until I googled a little more and read about yellow fungus and now I'm super worried that this is what Lenard (my beardie) might have. I'm not sure because it's just him in the tank and I've had him for almost a year exactly his tank is kept immaculate with a water dish that gets changed regularly and he has a regular diet of both veggies and worms. He's a little bit lazier than normal but I haven't been home lately so I thought that might have something to do with it. He eats just like he normally would too. Please advise !!!


Ps the black looking stuff is just sand I already looked at that

Hi Julia, when is the last time he shed ? Did it appear all of a sudden ? It does look like Y.F to me, I really hope it's not but it looks like it. To be on the safe side, get some betadine from the drug store and mix some with warm water until it looks the color of iced tea to soak him in, about 1.5" deep. Don't let him drink it....offer water with a dropper on his snout first to be sure he's not thirsty. You should also look up an experienced reptile vet to have a look and maybe do a skin scraping.

He's still shedding right now. He just recently shed his entire back which took awhile. And It started with one spot and then it shed off. It was extremely thick and callus feeling.Toward the bottom I can see his skin coming off like it's shedding. I don't know if YF sheds too. But it feels very thick when I touch it.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
