I received a red blood with a few bumpy scales, found on a website to treat it with 50 50 water and hydrogen peroxide, then rub with some polysporin.I was surprised to find out after he just shed everything looks new again.What a relief, I was hoping his scales weren't going to be rotten away for ever, because that's what looked like was going to happen.Just thought I would share my experience

already with this on him.Ask a few questions on the forum and went on my own looking for info on the web.I was just happy to see this didn't affect any scales or long term treatment needed.I was told this had happened from over wetness on his cage, sort of like a scale rot effect.
