Spot on Lenny

[ROSIEonFIRE]

I agree that it is probably pre-shed redness or a rub on something.

However, I'll add one thing. 95F is too hot for a BP for anywhere in the tank, even basking.

Hot side should be 85F +/- with a hot spot/basking spot of up to 89-90F. I would be okay with 87F hot side including basking spot in a tank the size of yours (I have the same size for Shayna, my BP) because there is adequate space to cool down. However, get the 95F spot down. That will (likely) improve humidity as well.

I know you said you were just checking on him, but really, Lenny needs to be left alone to shed and get used to his new home (for about 3 weeks and 3 consecutive meals). You do not want him to get stressed and go off food etc.

Handle him only if you need to remove him to perform cage maintenance like cleaning the tank. When you do, at least for now, put him in a holding container, etc. and put him back. Do not interact with him too much.

I am not trying to preach here. However, you seem to have great intentions and love Lenny. I want you to have a great experience with him for a long time, and you will. Just take a breath, get the temps corrected, and let him be for a bit.

Overall, you are doing great and he looks like he has a great Snarent.

Thank you! The advice is very much appreciated as are your kind words about my snarent fitness
