Anyone ever had red spots appear on the underside of their beardie.

She is sooo fidgety Its hard to tell if they are moving. I have two in the same tank and the other one has no red marks. The substrate is newspaper as they are still young.

I cant get a close up better than this . There set up is fine im not a newbie.Just have not seen this before

if im honest, and its not set in stone, but id say internal bleeding, caused by parasites.

there is not any "outside" blood, nor moving mites etc, and if im honest, and its not your fault, she looks VERY skinny!!

meaning, eaither worms/ parasties are taking her nutrition, and are eating through her.

like i said, im no expert, and ive seen your set ups and know 100% its not there housing, as there spot on.

what i would do is take the other dragon away, and get Both to the vets, if insects have been used to feed, they will have eated/ drank from the dragons pooh, and in return, hold the parasites in themselves.. so its easy to pass on!

personal advice, either take it to the shop you bought it from, or a trip to the vets.

unless a cricket has been picking at her, although a dragon will lay on its tummy, so i doubt it.

I agree with Tom, take it to the vet, if its worms they can give an injection there and then and give you worming gel to use for a week or two. The sooner the better really, these things can just happen no matter how hard you look after them.

Mate get them to a good vet asap, i would take both just to be sure. Get faecals and get a professional opinion. It look's embeded in the skin from the pictures, dont look good.

Aaron

Ill see if they are open Sundays. All I get is aggro with recent purchases. The spots appeared almost over night. They are everywhere tail , feet, toes , head.

Im not meaning to insult anyone's intelligence but surely if parasites worked their way to the point of protruding the skin over the whole body she would be dead?
