I'm in distress here. I took Rorschach to the vet today, suspecting an impaction. I was right - it looks like loam (as well as last year's sand) is very tasty. I'm SO careful. She never is picks food items from the substrate and she's supplemented with Miner-all and Herptivite so I don't know WHY dirt would seem edible. She's moved to towels and slate tile for now and possibly forever. Stupid lizard.



The real concern for me, though, is that she has little reddish sore spots on the underside of her tail that I discovered today also. I have a very creepy feeling about it. Will you folks take a look and see what you think? The vet is looking into it, too, but I also want input from people whose main focus is collareds.



Thanks!
