Anybody know what this is?

Hello,

I noticed this on my Bearded Dragon a couple day ago and thought it was dried poo. After a couple of soaks, and gently rubbing with a soft toothbrush I'm not so sure. I stopped messing with it because I don't want to hurt her or cause more problems.

It doesn't appear to be a prolapse, and she is female so its not a sperm plug.

She doesn't seem to be in any pain and she doesn't seem to have any other problems. She is eating and drinking fine, basking and pooping regularly.

My only thought is that I recently gave her a dig box with dirt because she loves to dig and now she spends a lot of time in it. The rest of her tank is shelf linner. Maybe this is causing problems?

Thank you!

Well I think if it was dried poop it would of come off -- so I am going to have someone else look at this and see if they have any ideas

Not sure, apply a drop of honey every day , making 100% sure there are no loose insects in the enclosure , and see if that helps.
