Hi everybody!
It’s my first time posting here but I’ve been reading and researching thanks to you guys ever since I got Gaia. She’s about 8months now and I purchased her at a local petsmart, which I might not do again knowing what I know now.. anyways, ever since I can remember I’ve been obsessively worried about her tail. She’s been growing great she’s active and healthy. I have a heat light that reaches about 95-105. I have a reptisun t5 HO 10.0. I’ll be moving her into her bigger cage soon. But back to why I’m here, her tail always worried me. Finally today I gave her about a 30 minute soak in a solution I read about on here can’t remember the name right now, and I started to help detach the retained shed. It looks horrifying now and I’m worried either a) I harmed her, or b) she’s got tail rot. I don’t know if I should take her into a doctor or if I should keep trying to see some positive results on my own. Also, I’m hoping somebody out there will tell me I’m not a horrible mom lol. Really worried about her right now. I’ll be posting some pictures hope to hear back from someone soon. Also u guys should know that her tail was just the normal color of a shed before I assisted with the retained shed, however there’s been new kinks coming up every shed and that’s what caused me to worry, when I started to assist with the retained shed, there’s brown color was undearneath. Now part of me is worried that I did this to her, but I’m pretty sure I just exposed what was underneath the retained shed. I just can’t believe we woke up normal and now after I helped with the shed, this color appears. Will it need to be amputated? The very end is like shriveled up. Help.
