The redness may be due to his shed combined with him possibly laying for too long in a wet spot from water or urine. He is having a poor shed many scales on his belly have remained and collected substrate some of which is damp which does not help the problem. I bathed him in chlorhexidine; (surgical scrub); greatly diluted with water and applied fuciderm cream to his belly to help prevent infection. He is in a clear plastic tub with many holes drilled in for air. He has paper towel for substrate. Temperatures are 80F cool, 95F warm, 80F ambient. Humidity is 70% which I understand is good for problem sheds. All of these temps. are now consistent as opposed to the glass tank that he was in. He has not eaten since the 5th of December so the vet gave him a vitamin shot. I basically leave kashmir to himself except to apply the cream ever three days. My only concern is his health and well being. I am learning; unfortunately at Kashmir's expense. I hope his new environment will solve many problems and that soon things will level out for him. Again I am sorry for creating a thread and abandoning it but my life got a little hectic there for a while. Thank you everyone for your help and concern. Chris
70% humidity is kinda high try lowering it some more i wouldnt go over 60% at all.
even from this discription it sounds like scale rot i hope you want to a herp vet but something just doesnt sound right
