Poor girl, is there anywhere that she might have tried to squeeze her head through that could make those marks ? Post a couple of pics of the tank showing the entire set up. For now get some raw unpasteurized honey on it or neosporin. What type of insects do you feed her ? Be 100 % sure there are no insects hiding anywhere in the tank. If you use Neosporin, use a Q-tip and be careful not to get it in the eyes. Honey would be better near the eyes though.
The set up looks good. How many watts is the heat bulb and how close is she to it , possibly getting burned ? Another thought, is it possible that she went through the bottom of her fake log and tried to squeeze her head through the narrow part ? It looks like she has some type of wound/infection on her face.
Yes I’m thinking an infection or something like that. I can’t see her crawling in her log as she hasn’t done that since she was a baby. She likes her cave and if left alone she would stay in there all day and never come out. ( we remove the cave most of the day) She has always been like that since day one. She has never been one to bask either. Lights are a reptisun 10 T8 linear for overall light. Power sun 160 at the basking area and a ceramic infrared to keep the temperature up in the enclosure.
Hello,
I have to agree, that is most likely a burn. The 160 watt Powersun is probably getting too
hot at that distance.
We recommend using either a digital probe or a temp gun to measure basking spots, etc
or a combination of them both for the most accurate readings.
Definitely continue to use the raw, unpasteurized honey to help with the burn & hopefully
the infection will clear up soon as well.
