    Normal Sulcata Shedding?

    Well i need to do something with the roots in his burrow i think because if he keeps injuring himself that's not good thats the only thing i can think of damaging his head, he doesnt mind me touching those spots, i was just hoping it wasn't a fungal infection, i will grab some Neosporin today.

    Normal Sulcata Shedding?

    Thank you, i appreciate it, it probably was damaged in someway he is in his juvenile stage so he's been acting a lil crazy lately. Advice on cleaning it? Just water or baby soap maybe?

    Normal Sulcata Shedding?

    Sulcatas do not shed? Kind of odd theres multiple pictures, sites, and other reputable sources that say otherwise?

    Normal Sulcata Shedding?

    In the last post you replied to, I mentioned he tries to burrow through roots that could possibly be catching his scales?

    Normal Sulcata Shedding?

    Hello just wondering if this shedding is normal, what looks like a part of his scale fell off on the top of his head its not big maybe 1/5th of an inch. Is he dehydrated? I bathe him once every 2-3 weeks and wet his food before giving him anything.

    Tortoise shell rot? Or buildup? Sap?

    It does sort of rub off when it is wet but I don't want to scrub too hard incase it is rot. Sorry for my lack of knowledge.
