    That looks nasty. Get her to a vet and QT to the extreme.

    As far as pimples... you need a sweat/oil gland to get a pimple, so no... not pimples.

    So it was dead ticks she had, not mites? Ticks might be more likely to leave a mark like that after they are removed due to the irritation of the skin. I still think a herp vet would be the best bet.

    I did some research on water blisters, and she does knock over her water bottle every time i clean her cage, im constantly cleaning it but i might of missed one or two times where she might of been on wet paper for a day, could this be a cause?
    im still taking her to the vet, jus curious?

    No, knocking her water bowl over has nothing to do with what's going on with her, if you have the blue chlorhexidine solution, give her a soak in it (dilute it of course) daily intil you get her to the Reptile Vet.

    She wouldn't have been laying with her head upside down against the bottom of her enclosure, so it seems unlikely that those could be water blisters. One day of wet paper should not cause harm to a healthy bp.

    she is in her water bowl a lot tho,(i assume) because she has two dead ticks in the crevese of her eyes that irritate her..didnt know if that would be a cause of the blisters...but thank you!
    im off monday so its vet day for me n my girl
    i hope its nothing a few treatments of whatever the vet will give me wont fix.
