Still, when you think about it, is there really any difference between what I have and what a vet would give me for such a minor case of scale rot? Plus my nearest vet is an hour away and my parents would prob not want to drive me and say I am being overprotective or something.

I was reading through some old husbandry threads and someone said that cardboard hides should not be used. Is there any truth to this, because I have 2 cardboard hides and a rock den?
