Shed or yellow fungus?

[Caronovalily]

Hi!

I’m new here. I have a beardie who is 10 months old and he just went through a super difficult shed. He has never had an issue before and this time was super hard for him. When he was still shedding, I thought that the yellow on his belly was just a stuck shed but it still remains. I have googled yellow fungus but some say it starts at the vent. I don’t see that. Thoughts? I am currently quarantined since one of my children brought home Covid. I’m somewhat freaking out

Ok where is the long tube fixture and what bulb are you using T 5 or T 8? These bulbs have certain placement and distance and it also depends on the screen

Ok good its in the tank but I would either put a piece of decor directly under it 12-15 inches -- he needs to be directly under it w / that distance at this point hes not getting much UVB and that could be causing the hard sheds
