It looks like shed but not absolutely sure--- the coil UVB please replace it as soon as you can - the 13 watt bulbs are one of the worst --- please get a long tube fixture 24" for a 40 + gallon tank - Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO Hood
this fixture will come w/ a 5.0 bulb keep it for a back up the distance and placement will be different for a 40 gallon tank - you need this bulb 22" Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB T5 HO
or you can get this fixture 24" Arcadia ProT5 12% UVB Bulb With Hood
this place is very good and ships out fast - took me 2 days to get my UVB bulbs -
When you get this please post back on here and I will help you get it placed for your tank - depending on your screen on your tank will determine placement and distance -- please replace the bulbs in approx one year - in the meantime I am going to have some one look at the issue in question - I could not tell what the other pic was next to the UVB coil

Gotcha how close is the bulb to her basking spot? Its possibly a burn if she can get to it -- you dont want it any closer than 6" -- but I want AHBD to take a look at it

Prob about 5 inches

Prob about 5 inches

Ok -- what are the basking temps at 5"? And question about the substrate-- is it sand?

 

[Reeces]

Prob about 5 inches

And when he's up there he's even closer cause he stretches to get as close to bulbs as possible so I would say when he's perched up he's prob about 3 inches from bulb to his nose

Idk temps, guess I need to get special thermometer and he has calcium sand

Ok what are bulb are you using wattage? And how are you taking temps? You want a digital probe thermometer to get actual basking temps they are going to be the most accurate

Please get rid of the calcium sand --- he will eat it and that is not good -- please take it out as soon as you can --- use paper towels for now -- then you can get some textured NON adhesive shelf liner from Walmart or your home improvement store cut to the size of the tank insects cannot get underneath and clean w/ vinegar/ water 50-50
