Thanks again everyone for the replys, advice, andsuggestions.. this all helped in putting my mind at ease and in identifyingthis issue, I know we all want stress free, happy, healthy animals and I dohope to continue my up keep for my collection.
With that I am almost certain, after last night’s lilcleaning session; it is what you guys have entered as an over looked factor inmy head… the feeding of the animal. May be a scratch or bite even
I did the Wwater and just added a few drops, as Armiyanasaid, it was flaky, dry, and ugly in a dirty dry glass tank so I thought theworse, especially after looking at his belly and seeing the area with all thedirt on him, I’m like WTF! So even when I got him home and cleaned it up withthe warm soapy water, it looked better and after cleaning it again last night, Isaw more of the scabby type of brown stuff being removed and the ash is almostall gone, but I will keep up the cleaning util he sheds and well hope its allgone
So yes he ate onlylive last year of ownership, and I have noted that if this was scale rot it may have spread along his belly more or justnot so localized but again im jus reading stuff online.. his tank was really dry.. not damp like the most SR would need to grow.. but all in all I will notrule out anything as I have already purchased the products for the treatment ofSR and now will just be prepared if I do have an issue. But these issues will b far and in between ashe will be in my care moving forward and I have you guys if I run to if anotherissue occurs #thanks
He did take right to the F/T I offered him Saturday so Iwill not have to have this scare again, as I am hoping he keeps the idc attitudetowards the rats.. but thanks again homies.. I truly appreciate all your help .idk what I would do w/o yall…
