First thing you need to do, is separate that little dragon from the big dragon's enclosure. Its never a good idea to house dragons of such difference in size.



Second, get the little one to a vet to check that hind leg. Even an old bite can remain infected even if the outer wound is healed over. Abscesses can form under the skin from old injuries, not to mention there may be injuries that are not visible to the eye, such as a broken bone.



As for the splotchy patches on the head, it could be unshed skin or scabbed over injuries. As its not easy to soak the head, try applying a light mineral oil over the affected areas with a Q-tip to see if the skin softens and can be carefully rubbed off after the oil has been on for about 10 minutes or more. Don't get any in the eyes or nostrils.



Let us know what the vet says after you visit him. In the mean time, give us full details of your husbandry...temps etc. Both in the original cage and the new one you set up for your little dragon.
