there is no skin exposed, it just looks like the normal scales. the scales that are flaking off look like sheded skin, but are in little pieces. the weird looking scales are her belly scales, which are normally totally white, now the affected scales have a very slight tan color to them, look dry and are wrinkly.



if i have cleaned the cage throughly and have been applying neosporin, what should the deciding factor be for taking her to the vet?? if it doesn't clear up or starts looking worse type of thing?



thanks for the help
