Hi was wondering if anyone could give me some advice,
I have a orange phase bearded dragon and he has blueish white scales around his mouth paticularly on his right side.
He had it when I got him, so i'm not sure if ithere is something that has caused it or not. The place I got him from said it was nothing, still I'm a little concerned for his health...
Any help would be great!!!

How long have you had it? Beardies shed in pieces and will often have patches of white/grey scales before they slough off. Around their mouths often come off in strips.
Any pics?

Thanks All,
Yes you were right he shed and now his colouring is pretty cool.
I was wondering one thing about him though and that is he has eyes kind of like a cat except right to left instead of up and down his pupils are not round like other dragons i have seen but kind of oval is this normal at all??
Take a look at the pic!!
(PS: Would you call him orange phase?? Someone said to me that he was a red...)

That is one seriously strange eye...have people seen this before?
Does he have any difficulties seeing / catching food that you have noticed?
