This afternoon I took 9 hours to find lemon, but I found him with a bubble in it's tail. Is this harmful and what should I do?

Huh? Air bubbles IN his tail? Pictures would be helpful to help guide these replies.

I'm sorry but, sadly I cannot take pictures.

Did it look like this?



This is what urates look like before they're passed.

That looks kind of like it, but it is not red. It went down this morning.

It may have been feces.

It's now spreading to the middle of his body

We need pics to help but maybe a vet trip is in order.

Sounds like it might be a burn/ blister? Trip to the vet for sure any how. What type of heating source are you using ? What type of enclosure, temps , humidity do you have dialed in? Are you using a thermostat to regulate your heat sources?

Without having pictures and knowing a little more it's hard to provide any help.

If your heat source is unregulated please unplug it ASAP until you can purchase a dimmer switch as a temporary measure and order a thermostat.

Following this replace the substrate by clean paper towel.

IFThis is a burn depending on the extent it may require a trip to a vet.
