Rescued today & will be going to the vet next week. She was left in a house last winter with no power for who knows how long & appears to have MBD, both front feet stay turned in. And she looks quite obese. My biggest worry is the side of her face looks yellow & has scales missing/falling off. She's being quarantined away from my 5 other reptiles. Anyone have any ideas about her face & recommendations to get some weight off? Thank you!!

Not sure if that's yellow fungas or not-- others on here would need to look- putting her in a good salad diet w/ crickets or dubias 2 times per week and limit the worms like butter worms wax worms-- what has she been eating?

I'd probably try some antifungal cream on the area and see if it starts to improve but having a vet run a skin test is a good idea. It looks like thick shed to me but the damaged scales nearby may indicate an infection of some sort (not necessarily YF) so it's good to check into it further. The weight change will take time and patience. Time and space to move and get some exercise is helpful and combined with a diet change to include mostly veges should do the trick over time.

She's been eating crickets & all the wrong vegetables. A lot of sweet potatoes & broccoli & who knows what else. I've been feeding her veggies daily & dubias once a week.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
