Hey all,
well, about 2 weeks ago after I fed my female BP, I picked her up to hold her and noticed that she had a very very very small "chip" in one of her scales with some brownish/reddish stuff in the chip. Kinda like she slid over something sharp and it caught the scale. After looking at the scale, I didnt see any damage to the skin underneath, just the scale but to be safe, I put her on paper towels and daily neosporin treatments for a 5-7 days. I then soaked her after that week and put her back on Aspen. Well, after picking her up today, I notice that the scale is turning pinkish. At first I thought "She's going into shed" but I can't see any real pink tinge anywhere else. Now I'm worried it's infected somehow. What do ya'll think? Pics are below.

You can't even see the cut it's so small but you can see the pinkish tinge. Any advice?
