Definitely keep us posted on how she is doing! I hope that the honey helps out for her & that it starts to improve.
That is a possibility that the skin was somewhat raw & just got a little worse applying the aloe with the exposure to the lights, also. At least it doesn't seem to bother her & she has a pretty good appetite, also.
A little update on Arty. I've been applying honey every night for twoish weeks. I'm not sure if it's gotten better or not, it does seem a little smaller and actually when she sleeps and is light colored it almost doesn't show at all. But I decided to take her in to a reptile vet to be safe (and do an overall health examination before brumation). The vet wasn't sure what it was, nor did his colleagues. He didn't think it was fungus, he thought it looked like a scar but didn't think it was a burn because he thought it would have to go through a nasty scabby phase before getting white and smooth like this. He didn't think it was necessary to graph it/take a sample. He thought it just best to wait and see what happens. So I'm going to continue with the honey and we'll see if it heals up!
Here's an interesting picture of the scar under the UV light. What's interesting is that the skin that looks like shed actually doesn't look like that at all without the light and she's not in shed anymore.
If it was yellow fungus it would have grown by now or patches would have shown elsewhere. Looks like the honey is helping. Still wondering how she got this scar. Keep working on it.
Well, that is odd! Very interesting, but I agree that it would definitely have spread if it was yellow fungus. The honey does seem to be working, so I would keep on applying it daily & hopefully it will keep on improving for her!
