the ear itself looks dry and flaky with what appears to be a very small piece of cypress mulch loged in it

please can anyone help me? hes my favorite out of all my pets and i dont want hm to go deaf.

i would almost let it be and see if when it becomes more active if it may come out on its own. maybe in some baths or two. i have never had that so im not sure but i dont see it being a big deal yet.

If you can could you please post another picture up close ? it's kind of hard to see in this photo. Thank you.

ok ill gety one up as soon as i can
also i accidentaly woke him up fro hibernation
is that a bad thing?

 

[detra25]

oh and btw he has itin both ears

 

[detra25]

i just very gently used a warm soaked q tip to dab at his ear and i gave him a bath
the picture i gave yuo is from before hibernation so i guess i never notived but i think i got him this way
what scares me is that i have really ever seen beardie ears and tegu ears are totally different

 

[skippy]

are you positive it's not part of the ear itself? do you have a better closeup pic of the ear?

Tegus dig all the time so im sure thier somewhat used to getting dirt in thier ears so like mr.tegu said I would just leave it be. Do baths and what not. Be careful tampering with thier ears. Reptile ears are very sensative and fragile.

he is pretty skinny from just waking up and he wont eat
does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get him to eat
