I have a beautiful beardie i purchased from georgia bearded dragons. She is 6-8 inches long from head to end of tail. She has been doing great, eating everyday and drinking plenty of water. I came home today and noticed two cuts on the top of her head right above the ear holes. THey are in the same spot on each side. THey look like inflamed bubbles on the back of her head.. Could this be from the heat lamp or from cricket bites...there is a small amount of fluid coming out of these red sores...thanks for the help... also i have rinsed her off with betadine to help if there is an infection...

Sounds like burns, especially if they ooze a clear water like liquid.To be on the safe side, take her in to a vet experienced with reptiles to treat. Also, make sure your heat lamp (or the rim of the 'hood' if you use a hooded fixture) is well out of reach of your dragon. Probably be good to ensure the heat light is at least 6" away from the dragon when it is on the basking spot.
