    1. - Take your animal to a qualified vet. (a vet with herp experience).

    2. - DO NOT use window cleaner - it does not disinfect and will irritate the
    skin and definitely exacerbate the belly rot. If you don't have
    Chlorhexidine you can use a diluted solution of household bleach
    (1/4 cup to a gallon of cold water. When using the dilute bleach solution
    make sure you rinse the enclosure thoroughly with water and allow it to
    air out before replacing the animal. Make sure you disinfect all items
    that were in the cage as well (water bowls, hides, etc.).

    How long have you had this animal?

    When was the last time you cleaned its cage?

    Are you sure its belly rot and not a burn?

    Are you using a UTH? If so, are you regulating the temperature with a thermostat?
