    neglected bad sheds/wounds
    Hey guys, new member here with a question. I "rescued" this 1 year old BP lady from a teenager who didn't take good care of her, you know how it is, kid wants a cool pet but when he finds out you need to take care of it, he gets rid of it :tears: She didn't have any shelter, was hiding under water bowl, too weak heat bulb for the tank, low humidity... She didn't even want to eat for the first 6 weeks I got her. Now she's eating nicely, regularly. Anyway, I'll get to the point. When I got her, she had these wounds/scabs from a neglected shed (I guess). Is there anything I have to do about it or will it fix itself within a few sheds? She now has good conditions, I check the humidity every day and the scabs are getting smaller. But should I use any ointments or anything? Thanks for any advice.

    I apply Vetericyn on shallow wounds like that. Products like Triple or Neosporin use a petroleum-based ointment which can cause scales to slough off after several uses.
