The first photo I took as soon as our sulcata came out of his den to me, this afternoon. I immediately noticed white stuff on his leg.
He had already been soaked earlier today, but I took him over to his pool to clean him off and get a better look. I had my husband hold him to take some additional photos. It looks like he has gotten into paint, but that's 100% impossible. He was in his enclosure, down inside his burrow.
I was glad to see the scraping pattern, because initially I assumed some kind of fungus and was devastated as we have a hurricane coming and no vets will be in for the rest of the week.
Any ideas what this could be? Could he have hit some kind of mineral layer in his burrow? It's extremely deep, further than the 16' our lighted endoscope goes. I'm really worried about letting him go back down there now.
