Please do- what are you using for a uvb- coil or long tube fixture - surface basking temps-- how are you taking them-- what are you using for a substrate? Pic did not post
Please get some raw filtered honey on the scab --- no crickets in the tank if your feeding them--- they will go straight for the wound--- next please get rid of the coil UVB-- they are a health hazard--- you want a long tube fixture I will post links please get this as soon as possible --these are good for 40 + gallon tanks

Please post back on here when you have the UVB I will help you place it for your screen on the tank - it will determine where the UVB is placed and distanced
