First a few words on this female, she’s been the most active and stressed of the 2.4 ornatus iv gotten 2 weeks ago! Other then this she has good appetite and seem to be doing good. Yesterday I saw these abscess on her side, they are liquid trap between the shed and new skin.
My first impression when seeing this was it looks like blister disease! This is a bacterial disease often seen when moisture and faecal are combined, it usually starts on the belly when lizards are kept in filthy cages. (my cages are not filthy, however these where kept in a filthy bin for at least 2 weeks prior my purchase) thereof I will not rule out this possibility yet.
My second impression was cage mate aggression, iv seen similar marks in agamas nipping each other on the side and back legs, however I can only rely on location as iv never seen any aggression. Your guess on this would surly help.
My last impression from analysing the cage, there might be a possibility that this female climbed and hang sideways on a wall light fixture, I use low wattage floods 75w but nevertheless it could burn, in any case iv changed this fixture just to be safe.
Don’t worry this female will be ok and well taken care of regardless of what the illness is, so pleas don’t waste your time advising on treatments, however if you have pertinent experience and want to share by all means be my guest. But for the time being I am interested in your idea of witch of the above is the culprit, perhaps more experienced keepers can fill me in a little. I ask this mainly for fun and learning.
Thanks
