Hey guys. I have a 3 year old bearded dragon named Irwin that has been happy and healthy for many years. Just today I noticed that a few of the scales on his left rear leg, and on the left side of his torso by all the spikes, are turning a yellowish color. When I rubbed the scale to try and figure out what it was, he flinched a little bit. Does anyone have any idea what this might be, and if its worth a vet checkup? I can take a picture if it will help you guys figure out what it is.
I'll give you guys some background information on his care and diet if it will help you. I keep Irwin in a 60 gallon tank with a basking spot of about 105 degrees and a reptisun 5.0 UV light. He eats salad everyday, and his salads consist of dandelion greens, collard greens, mustard greens, endive, escarole, carrots, yellow squash, green beans, and peas. He gets gut-loaded crickets 2-3 times a week, as many as he can eat in a 5-10 minute session. He is extremely active, robust and alert, especially at this time of year! So I don't think that there are any husbandry issues here, although I could be wrong.
Thank you,
Andy
