BD with odd ear scar/scab? pics inside

JeffreyPeacock May 13, 2009 10:30 PM

I noticed this a little while ago and he has also been trying to scratch his face. Does this mean he is going to shed soon? Is it something to worry about?

I've never seen that before. It's hard to tell what it is from the picture, foreign object possibly? I'd recommend you have a vet take a look at it.

This is from a while ago but just wondering if you found out what was up? The pic looked bad but it could just be some dead skin. They do shed from the ear. Your beardie may be trying to get the dead skin out of there. A nice soak would fix that problem
