    Rescued BP and questions on possible belly burn?

    OK, so I have a few questions on if this is a belly burn? I rescued this "little girl" on Saturday and got it home and was setting everything up for QT and took a few pictures. The belly is a little rough and looks really red, not like going into shed red. Here is a little back ground on how they were keeping "her", cedar shavings, multiple UTH's with no thermostat and 1 little hide, and had a few piles of dried poo still in the tank. I have her in a complete seperate part of the house in my son's room that statys around 80 degrees, so I have her on paper towels and no UTH as of now. Please let me know what you think or if you need additional pictures or information. Should I do any type of betadine treatments? Also it is probablly just a normal, but I have included a few extra pictures to look at. Is it anything more than a normal?

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Rescued BP and questions on possible belly burn?

    In the first photo, I do see what looks like blisters ond the edge of the belly scales, which could indicate a thermal burn, but, it doesn't look as red as most of the burns that I've seen, which also leads me to think that it could be skin irritation from being on the cedar. Either way, the best that I can suggest is to keep it on dry paper towels, Betadine soaks, and keep a close eye on it for any changes that would warrant an immediate vet trip...
