Hello,

That is very hard to tell. Could she have hurt herself? How long has this been present?
Do you keep feeders in her tank that could have bitten her?
For now, if it is an open wound get some raw unpasteurized honey to put directly on the
area to help fight infection from developing.

I can see something stringy, can you look around the tank and see if she might have laid eggs ? BTW , it's very important that you get a white basking bulb and get rid of the red one ASAP, the red bulbs can cause serious eye problems. They are totally unnatural, no animal or human lives under a red light, not for night time use either .

she is out in the light more she has ate and we've bathed her and will keep doing so only for 15 minutes usually she will stay in the water longer i had a uva light so we are using that but where i live it is winter and cold so we can't shut it off we will try to move her into a different room but for now the
kitchen is the warmest

Hello,

That's great she is up & around & basking right now. I wouldn't bathe too often during the winter. As long
as the area isn't bleeding anymore that is improvement. Keep using the honey on the area as needed.
Are you using a UVB light for her during the day along with a basking light?

Hello,

When they go through a partial brumation, or a general winter slow down, they wont eat much if
anything at all. If she is maintaining her weight & looks hydrated, she should be just fine. Hopefully
she will start to come out of this phase soon.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
