Answer 1

My boyfriend works at a pet store and that is how we ended up with two rescued beardies.  Both of ours are solid white on the beard, I looked to see if I saw anything like what you are saying.

The first question is... could it be food?  Our two don't seem to be the neatest eaters and usually have some bit of berry or carrot or cricket stuck to their face/neck somewhere.

I would be concerned about it being some kind of parasite perhaps a mite or something.  You should probably begin with a call to a reptile vet, most will answer questions and follow up with a call to wherever you got them.

Good luck.  We're hoping for food or dirt.

Answer 2

they just develop spots.
