My lavender corn has a skin problem

snakepimp Aug 09, 2003 12:29 PM

I just bought this guy at the wasatch reptile expo in Salt Lake City UT. When I got him home he had this pus-like scabby material on part of him. Is it skin-blister disease? I have never seen it. Is it a forced-shed problem? I put him on newspaper and applied some antibiotic oinment to the area. Help!!
Thanks in advance
Jeremy

That almost looks like a thermal or chemical burn. Do you have a heat source in a place where he can get to it, or very near it?
