Hi there, I am hoping someone can give me some insight as to what might be bothering my poor dragon!
- Age: over a year?
- Size (length from the tip of the snout to the tip of the tail): 16 inches
- Size of the enclosure: 40 gallon
- Temperatures: basking 100-110
- Type of substrate: laminate
- Diet: superworms - refused eating for 3+ weeks, horn worms (had her 1st one today!), dandelion, kale - refusal to eat for 3+ weeks
About 3 weeks ago the scales on her left arm became discoloured. Her arm appeared to be tender to the touch. We observed it for a week then a week ago I started bathing her in a diluted betadine and water bath. After her soak I would apply an aloe gel to the area. It appears to be getting better now but the scales still look like they're disintegrating!
Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it? Thank you!
