Without more information, or a picture, it is hard to tell. If it looks obviously different then the others then I would suggest taking it to a vet (a good herp vet) and having it looked over. Todd

First thing that came to my mind was mites and/or retained eyecaps. Had both of these problems with my new baby burm. If not either of these then I think a trip to the vet would be in order.

what did you do, i think its mites going to clean cage out with just a very small amoutn of beach and let it air out and i also have mites guards, its the only cage that has mites, i soak her in water all night long seemed to help alot.
