well I just finished with the routine of anti-biotics the vet gave me so I think that actually may be helping after looking at him a little mroe tonight. He does seem like the area looking bad hurts him like he was the first couple of days so I think I may be in the clear. Just have NO history of medical issues with reptiles except for this one time so got worried. My sympathies go out to you Syearout on your ladies death. I hope everything goes well with your little guy there. Thank you both for your responses
