I palpate her every few days or so, now that I think I've got the hang of it, but its probably because the largest of the follicles are fairly big now, roughly pingpong ball size I believe and from what I can feel there are 6, not all of them feel that size tho.

I Dont know where scale rot could spring up from, she hasnt been kept on anything wet, not till recently just to aid in raising the humidity a bit, andthat was only recently and for a couple days. right now her belly is pink, but its from her going into shed. I dont think she could have gotten burned. every time I see her shes on the cooler side of her enclousure I might need a new thermostat maybe , but her belly has been fine in apperance
