Alrighty lets see what i can come up with here. AS OF RIGHT NOW, the total tank temp stays at room temperature. because i dont use AC during the day and it gets into the upper 80s, low 90s and humid in my apartment, during the night i use AC and it gets into the mid 70s and 50-60 humidity. He does have a heat pad under his tank that ive used for all 10 years ive had him, so if it is a burn it has to be because something is wrong with that heating pad. I DO NOT use a heat lamp right now because I feel it gets warm enough without it. but he does still have a light. I havent been using his heating pad either for the past week because the vet told me not to. (again i dont fully trust this vet) he always sheds nicely, and never has wrinkled eyes, i Use Repti bark bedding and have for the 10 years ive owned him. ive always def him live mice because he wont even go near a frozen thawed no matter what. he eats 2-3 mice every saturday(hasnt eaten in almost 3 weeks.) ive never had a single problem with him, ive even taken him to the vet for check ups and they say he looks fantastic. and everything checks out

If it was a burn and not scale rot, wouldnt the meds still help him, not make him worse? i just checked the tank where the heating pads is, and its barely warm, i cant see how that could burn anything. im not saying anyone is wrong im just trying to make sense of the situation. how he could go from perfectly fine to practically on his death bed in a week :-( :-(
