Hi , I just rescued an adult male bearded dragon! when he got to me I noticed his femoral pores were clogged not to the point that any seemed to have puss or be swollen. He doesn't flinch when I touch his legs to look at them so I don't think there painful for him yet. Since noticing them I've given him a couple baths where I had him soak for as long as he'd let me (5ish maybe more minutes) and in the bath I gently scrub his pores with a tooth brush and then after the bath before he sits under the heat lamp I put Neosporin on them so they don't get infected. Im wondering when ill be able to tell they are no longer clogged ? is this something I should be doing daily or a couple times a week?

Awesome I will do all of those things, is there a point I should stop the bathing and scrubbing with toothbrush? Ive included rougher surfaces into his terrarium so ill make sure to keep that up. how do I know when they are no longer clogged, will there be a visual difference?
