So I took my boy out of his enclosure tonight to check on him. Just a bit of back story, He hasn't eaten in 4 weeks but is still at 1018g so I figured it was okay and that he was just not feeling like eating. But I have still been offering every week. I have been having a hard time keeping his humidity up the last week or so (it's very dry where I live right now). But on average it's about 50%, hot side is 94F and cool side is about 88F, ambient is 86F. I noticed that he has been soaking in his bowl the last 2 nights so I thought he might have mites. (I have recently changed his bedding to cypress mulch because of the humidity issue). So when I pulled him out tonight to check on him, I noticed this, it looks like dirt but it won't come off so I'm wondering if it is scale rot? I wouldn't think so because I've been having a humidity issue, but I thought I should ask. I also noticed that his pits seemed to be really bright in color, which I have never seen before, They usually are not that bright in color (or maybe they are and I'm freaking out over everything right now). Should I just take him to the vet or is this something I can fix at home. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Also just to add that I have removed all of the substrate and put down paper towels.
