this is apicture of the par infected, some kind of skin infection? can anyone help me?

wish I could help you but I have no idea!! sorry

go to a vet, that is what everyone here will tell you. looks like scale rot or something but it needs to be checked out

My guess would be some kind of fungus. But that's pure guesswork on my part. I would definitely take it to a vet who deals with reptiles.

Looks like a fungus that my dragon (bearded) got. Vet told me that if it got to the vent, it would be fatal. He's healthy now with no more fungus, but the scales that were affected still have not grown back. :(

Any update OP?

That's a fungus go to the vet.

what is that caused from too much humidity??

I could not find a reason for it in my case. I housed two dragons together and I thought the one that got the fungus was just having a bad shed. After some time, I realized it wasn't a bad shed and got her to the vet. I asked the vet if I should quarantine and he told me that the other one appeared completely healthy and if it had already been a couple/few weeks and the other female had not gotten it, then it would probably be OK to keep them together.

I had plans to separate them, bought another tank and light and then saw the other getting better after being treated and didn't bother. The day the sick female went to the vet, she was 165 grams. It's been 6 or so weeks now and she's up to 300+ grams.

My sick female also had a calcium deficiency. I don't see how that could cause fungus. The only other thing I can think of is the female that got sick has a habit of rolling around in the feces :puke2:

That's the only thing I can think of :confused:

FYI, the calcium deficiency was caused by my misunderstanding of the supplement I was using :colbert: The problem has been corrected and I have their supplements arranged by day of week along the side of their tank to ensure they get what they need from now on.
