Black spots on Beardie?

I don't think it anything to worry about especially since it's a male and it's this time of year (mating). his hormones are wild right now. parasites usually get under the scale and will irritate the skin and the beardie will act accordingly. if you are still concerned calm your fears and take him to the vet and get a wellness checkup it can't hurt. also take a picture of your setup (living area etc.) and write down any questions you can think of. let him know your setup temps humidity etc. and see if he can help you to improve in any way. I will bet your beardie is fine. to remove unshed skin around his toes etc. use a warm wet washcloth. along with a bath to loosen the unshed scales. you can remove unshed skin around the toes and under the neck area but avoid areas that should come off by itself easily. sometimes skin will look as if it should come right off but its still attached in one small area you peel it off premature and it can cause sores or infections. remember to keep his humidity between 20 and 30 percent this will help with shedding. here is a basic care sheet. I like it because the pictures of the femoral pores are large and easy to see.
