    Spots

    Hello all been a while since I last posted but, I have much more important issues plaguing my house hold. So for about a couple months now Leo has had these marks on his head and neck. I thought he may have scared himself on something rubbing too much honestly I'm not sure what I was thinking so ultimately I figured I would wait until he shead. Once he shead it went away very little. I waited another she'd cycle and it looked like it was almost gone and about a week later back again in the same spot. Is it what I always feared all along. The enemy. Mites.
    Please any suggestions would be great.

    Do you feed live by any chance? (no judging here)

    From what I can tell in the pictures those look like moderately deep wounds trying to heal.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Hmmm, if they are not wounds and no chance of scrapping or gouging himself, I'm at a loss.

    Maybe some others will know.

    Re: Spots

    He may have rubbed on the mount I setup for my herpstat probe but, in any case my local shop gave me a anti bacterial for reptiles to mix in a gallon of distilled water and q-tip it on his scars. They also suggested adding neosporin after each application as well. It's not Mites after further inspection. I'm not outrageously concerned but we will see how this goes. I'll stay posted. Thanks for the input!

    Wow, please let us know what the Vet says. I am curious and now really concerned since it is getting worse.
