    Question possible scale rot/burns? I need help!

    I took lemon out of his cage, to check for mites, but here is what I saw: 2 scales had brown stuff lining it and cracks on it. Is this shedding, scale rot, or burns?

    I couldn't get a picture. sorry.

    he has bits of skin that haven't been shed. but, still working on that. I think it's just old skin though..

    It had a crack going in over the other scales on his belly. Oh, when I got him, the people who gave him said he had a very hard time shedding

    I'm assuming it shedding now because his eyes are clear and parts of his skin are coming off. This morning nothing changed.
