I'm sad to say that mr and Mr. Belt are battling scale rot again. I recently moved him into a new tank (36X18) and put in fresh cocoa fiber. As many of you know this substrate comes in the form of a dense brick that needs to be hydrated for it to expand, in getting used to the new tank size I have added to much water and that I belive is the cause of the problem. He is about to shed, the rest of the belly is a nice pink and my amazing vet just called in a prescription of Flamazine that I can pick up tomorrow in my town which is an hour away. So with all things considered I should be glad I noticed ti before it became severe, that he is about to shed, and that I'll have medicine first thing in the morning. I'll let you know how he does, hes on news paper now.
