Useing betadine on blue tongues

[bluedragon]

is it safe to use beta dine on bluey because my bluey has damaged nose scale and i dont have a disinfectant it just checking because i never had a bluey with a cut or graze at all in my collection

only concern i would have is as it is near his mouth prob don't want it being ingested.

Your best bet would be using a diluted concentrate and then dabbing it on very lightly so it doesn't drip down into his mouth

I'd be more worried about what he scraped his nose on ? he might keep doing it
We had a girl years ago who wore all the flesh off her nose by rubbing it against a rock,you could see the bone.

It's possible he's rubbing it on the enclosure if there's glass,

I learnt that some
Lizards such as sailfins don't understand the whole "glass thing" and will try walk into and run etc causing damage to nose and mouth
