hi,
Logan, my 8 month old, 50% mojave BP(sister, of a mojave, she's got a nice yellow tint) rubbed her belly too hard during shedding and is missing two belly scales. The area is white with very slight reddish coloring.
I bathe her 2x daily in warm water, and apply Neosporin(NOT extra strength because that can harm her). When she's touched, she's not in any discomfort. Temps. are fine.
I changed substrate from aspen to paper towels. She was always on aspen since she was hatched, so she likes itbut wanted something smoother for her belly for a while. Should I be worried about her?
My old BP sadly passed from scale rot; part of it my faultI don't wish to see this again. Logan has never been exposed to any fabric etc. that could spread parasites. Cage is always clean.
She's kind of a slow eater; for a young one she seems to wanna eat every 20 days! my old BP ate every 2 weeks. hmmm. Logan's behavior is still normal
Should I be worried? please e-mail me at jseconds77@hotmail.com if any one knows something of use.
