I've been working my way through that thread and a couple others on here. It really seems like this forum has more info than anywhere else about it. I did tell the vet receptionist what I thought it was so they have a heads up.
I'm thinking it might be safer removing his hides and just giving wadded paper towels for hide spots? They are reptile basics hides, not sharp but I feel still too hard when the skin is that fragile. Idk. I'm also going to ramp up my humidifier which usually isn't needed in the summer but I figure can't hurt to keep things well hydrated. I'm not sure if I want to feed him this weekend or not, I'd prefer if he pooped first and it'll definitely have to be a tiny one to prevent more tearing.
