I noticed that Leonidas has a skin problem.It is that white spot on his right sholder.First I thought it is a burn but then I thought it would be read if it is a burn.Maybe it is some dried up skin from the old shed or some kind of fungus.I'm going to take him to the vet as soon as I can.Did any one on her had that problem with there Tegu before ?

it might just be a stuck on shed from a while ago that has started to cut off circulation.

in any case i would have it checked out.

Hi Ben3233 thank you for the link and taking the time to look for it.I saw that one, too.He has been shedding fine.When my Tegus shed I always give them a bath every other day to help with the shed.I mist the tank every day some times twice a day and I have towels on the tank, too, to keep the humidity in.I'll take him to the vet next week and I'll let you all know what it was.I can't wait to find out

Hi Texrepgirl,

Just wondering what the outcome was here. Was the skin problem anything we need to be on the lookout for?

Hi Tegster.Thank you for checking back about Leonid.I'm not sure if I trust the vet that I have now.Because when Leonidas was impacted he sad that he wasn't and days later he did poop out some big mulch.I kind of found a new vet about 1 hour from here.I have to give him a call this week and hopefully he knows things about the problem Leonidas has.It is so hard to find a good vet.I'll let you know what I find out.Take care.

You should feed in a clean area so as to avoid him eating any substrate.
