    Scale issue

    Hello everyone, it's been a while.

    had to extract Koko from behind the foam backdrop in her tank today, and noticed this on her stomach, about 2/3 of the way down. She is definitely irritable, as while my wife held her so I could get a clear picture, Koko actually bit me for the first time.



    What would be the likely cause of this, and does it look like something I can handle myself, or should I look at going to see my vet?

    She hasn't taken any food (live or frozen) in the last 5 weeks or so, and for the past couple months spends most of her time curled up in one corner or (lately) one of her hides. Her last shed was all one piece, but looking at it now, I can see where these scales were.

    Partly due to life issues I have admittedly fallen well behind on cleaning and record-keeping. That said, there is nothing in her tank that she should be able to harm herself on that she wouldn't have done so ages ago.

    Thanks in advance for any help and advice you all can give
