Hey, thanks. I figured it was the start of it.. I've kept up with the paper towels.. Got the UTH today.. Accidentally picked up a timer control instead of a thermostat.. Oops.. So I got home.. Gave blaze a betadine bath and noticed his belly was really pink.. his eyes aren't blue grey yet. Scales are flaking off individually.. And it seems to be starting on his back as well.. Looks to be start of a shed.. The brown spots have pretty much disappeared. But the upper part in the picture seems to be rough. Not brown really but almost like the individual scales are more pronounced and deeper.. I'll post pictures when I can. I don't want to handle him too much.. What do I do as with the betadine and Polysporin treatment if he's going into a shed. I'm guessing just let him be and keep the tank clean, water fresh and humidity up?. Thanks
