I just noticed a little bit of a yellow patch near my Gobi’s neck, immediately I thought of yellow fungus but it doesn’t appear to be painful when I touch it. It’s on both of his shoulders and I really need to know if I should take him to the exotic vets office. Or even an answer from someone on here. Pictures are attached to see what I’m taking about.

Doesn't look too much like yellow fungus, but if you're unsure it's never bad to take a trip to the vet. It's probably just shed preparation though. Many beardies get yellow coloring under their scales when they shed. My girl has the same thing on her tail and arms and she's shedding. It might just be your camera, but his other scales look sort of shed-ish too.

Thanks! I didn’t know yellow spots could be due to shedding... I probably should’ve included that he’s in the middle of shedding on his legs and tail.
