    Talking Injury improvement!!!

    On Monday I found the belly of my BP Xanadu looking like this:

    [IMG]<a href="http://s346.photobucket.com/albums/p421/Jessicaw4cg/?action=view&current=dewey.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p421/Jessicaw4cg/dewey.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG]

    24 hours later (Tuesday night) it looked like this:

    [IMG]<a href="http://s346.photobucket.com/albums/p421/Jessicaw4cg/?action=view&current=deweyburn.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p421/Jessicaw4cg/deweyburn.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG]

    I am begining to think that it was not a burn (as origionaly thought) but maybe a rash (or some other equivelant irritation) caused by the mulch-like substrate that was in his tank (which is something hes never had before, as I've always used coconut substrate). Thoughts?

    I just wanted to update everyone since alot of people commented and were also worried.

    Looks like scale rot to me, I would keep it on paper towels for awhile. It does seem to be clearing up pretty good though, keep a good eye on it to make sure it doesn't spread or go back to getting worse.
