Thank you!! how often should i put the mixture on until i can go to the vet?KarrieRee":3qd7yqcx said:You can try some unpasteurized honey w/warm water mix- put on infected area for now-- make sure you have NO CRICKETS in that tank they will go straight for the foot--- next I would call a reptile vet and get her in -- here's a website to find a vet---

I don’t think it was a cricket bite because he usually eats them very fast and doesn’t let them get far. I have no idea what caused it, sometimes mealworms craw out of his bowl and i’m wondering if maybe they irritated hisDrache613":1484u65c said:Hello,
Wow, that doesn't look very good at all. How long has it looked & been infected?
Definitely use some raw, unpasteurized honey or manuka honey if you have it or
can get it.
Do you know what initially caused it, a cricket bite possibly? Are any other hands or
feet swollen or just the one?

i took him to the vet and they said he has stuck shed! they gave me an antibiotic and a cream for the cut on his foot. im going to be bathing him once everyday until his skin starts to loosen up and the shed starts to start. do you have any tips for stuck shed? any other ways to get it to start to peel?Drache613":ikbcgtin said:Hello,
Oh no, so his other foot has a few issues now also?
I would remove all insects from his tank overnight. Mealworms burrow & technically they could
bite him, simply looking for food.
Definitely try to get him to a vet for analysis because infections can cause them to become ill.
Let us know how he is doing.
