BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I think izzy might have scale rot but im not sure i dont know what it looks like at all. can anyont explain or post a picture of it so i can tell i'll try to get some pic's but all i have is my camera phone and it doesn't take very good photos at all but i'll try! any help would be great!!!!!

Can you describe what it looks like?

Have you got too much humidity or very damp substrate?

it's just on a few random scales and it's like a rough dirty white look to it. it almost looks like it's been eatn away on the few scales that have it.

lilly had that on her head after her fall and when she shed it went away.

well izzy hasn't fallen at all to my knowledge but i was useing a flexable metal tube(like the ones for ventallation (sp)) but he didn't use it that i saw so i took that out could he have scuffed his scales up climbing throughthat?

does any one have some pics of scale rot or know where i can get some pics just so i know???

google

check out the top of the head here you have to look close but it looked eaten out. it was a cut or either dry scale but it went away with last shed

now not the nose it was directly from the fall.

this is after the shed look how pretty and healed up she got.

What makes you think it is scale rot? It is almost always caused by poor husbandry or keeping things too damp.

Scale rot usually shows as a blisters on the skin, usually on the belly first, and it can sometimes look reddened.

You will need to post a photo before anyone can assist in a diagnosis of the problem Izzy may have. If you are unable, then get on the net and do some research into scale rot, and if you still suspect it is then you need to go see a vet.

Scale rot is very serious. It can kill, as the blisters will burst and infection will set in.

Brigget ya thats just what it looks like i'll wait untill the next shed to see if it starts gioing away.
Lisa so scale rot looks like blisters ok it's not that at all then.

I think it was from her fall so most likely she injured herself.

i think he must have just rubbed up against his rocks or something to hard.thanks for the help!
