Dried Blood?

Hello I recently looked at my beardy closely and saw her left nose hole was almost black. Also on the top of her right nose is also a marking. Is this some kind of bruise or dried blood? Maybe old shed-ed skin thats out of tone?
Yesterday i left her roaming along my room i added a new desk and she kept banging on the leg. Im just concerned.
What do you think it is? Or have you had this problem before?
Thanks you!

Hmmm, could just be dirt in her nose. What kind of substrate is she on?

You could take a q-tip and dip it in warm water and roll it across the nostril to see if it comes off.

Bark is bad though because if she swallows any of it she is going to get impacted and it could tear her up inside. I think that dust from the bark may have gotten on her nose, do the q-tip and try to wash it.

Really stinky poop is a sign of parasites. If her poop smells that bad, you should have it tested. Tile and nonadhesive shelf liner are really easy to clean poop off of and there is no risk of any of the poop being absorbed into it.

I will look into those and i used to use sand. I got kinda lazy and stopped picking her poop but even when i did it smelled bad. Now all it smells is my room. Ill do that q-tip advice thank you!

It looks like dirt or food that is stuck..you can use a soft toothbrush while in the tub to see if it comes off. I use tile in both of mine and it's soo nice and easy clean up.
