I have just completed a move with my animals, and have finally been able to move into my apartment.

I have a 2 yr old female Henk..she's gorgeous. And appears to have made the trip OK. No apparent dehydration, calcium sacs are still huge. However...I just was going to take her out of travel container, when I noticed a few raised bumps/spots on her. They are yellowish/white in color, I touched one. It feels slightly hard, thought not sure about that as I didn't want to burst it open.

She didn't have these prior to the move. They basically look like pus filled pimples that a human would have from normal acne. And she only could developed these in the past 2 days.

I have not attempted to open them or anything. She has a few adjacent to her right calcium sac, and her one that is a little flatter under her right rear leg.

What should I do????

Any help would be appreciated.

The only thing I had neglected to add is that I wonder if during her temporary stay in the container I have kept her on paper towels that were too moist? I mention that because everytime I would take her out of the travel container, I would find her skin moist..and not dry. I was concerned about dehydration/humidity..this was my first move w/a leaf tail.

take her to the vet right away!! i had this happen to my sikoras and they died. it is some kind of bacterial infection that kills within two to three days. if you cant today try and do it tommorow. keep her more dried out and that helps.

She's very dry now ....bump on right leg has begun to disappear, and bumps by right calcium sac while still present, have gotten a bit smaller...I am encouraged, especially because she was light in complexion tonight..everytime I had her on moist paper towels the whole trip, she was always very dark..And I thought it was just stress from being cooped up..but perhaps it was the moisture coupled w/stress

She's quite alert however.

I encountered these "pimples" a few years back on some geckos I kept in a small vivarium. I did some research and learned the following.

They are normally a bacterial infection caused by a too-moist environment, and occur in all sorts of reptiles. Normally, if you catch it early and reduce the moisture in the environment, the infection clears naturally. Any remnant of the pimples is normally gone with the next shed. (I emphasize the "normally's" because bacterial infections can be unpredictable and serious, as the experience of the other respondent shows.)

The danger to the lizard posed by this infection can depend on the severity of the infection and the size of the lizard. A U. henkeli can probably recover OK, but a little phelsuma could be more easily overwhelmed by the infection.

I'm no expert but this is what I remember from a few years ago.

I am prett sure that's exactly what happend. I took a look at her today..and the one on her rear right leg which disappeared..has now reappeared..
