***NEW PICS IN LAST POST***
Hey everyone, I got a huge concern with my tegu’s skin, her name is Merlot, and I’m gonna post some pics and maybe you guys can tell me what’s up with her skin? I’m about to change her bedding and make it all fresh. What could cause this? I give her a hot bath every week at least once a week and never had a problem. Could I be making her husbandry too wet? I use a mix of coconut fiber organic soil and sand. She about a year old or less and is about 28”
She had some serious growth spurts. I’ve been feeding her reptilinks with 5 diff types of animals of ground whole prey, quail eggs and blueberries and greens mixed. Premium diet lol. But I ran out for the last
3 weeks and have been traveling and a friend has been feeding her well and I been gettting updates. The only thing that is different is that she’s eating regular good foods and maybe my friend kept the enclosure soaked so much because I kept stressing humidity to him while he took care of her. I don’t know. But my next shipment of links is coming in tomorrow so she can thrive even harder again. But could this be bacteria? Growing too fast to shed? Because that happenes once wher she grew so fast she was walking funny until her skin started flaking and shedding then she was cool. But she isn’t acting any different but her skin doesn’t look the same.
