I have a question, on my big bearded dragon, on the underside of his chin, it looks like his scales are dying....they are turning black? Can anyone tell me what is going on???
No, its just patchy...I know what it looks like when his beard turns black and is not happy, this is actually like certain scales are dying...I will try & get a good picture so you can see what I am talking about.
It doesn't look like it, but you are sure it isn't stuck on food or anything like that? If you are sure then I would suggest a vet appointment. It could be a virus or a fungus. Without seeing it first hand it is hard to tell.
I have to agree with Lisa, sometimes food and dirt can get trapped behind the scales causing those blacks spots. This trapped food/dirt doesnt just rub off and usually comes off with the next shed. Mine has 2 of those spots at the moment, so patiently waiting for her to shed her beard.
Just watch closely and monitor changes in apperance, if they become bigger or change at all i would considder a vet visit.
