    Pink hue near growth lines on plastron

    Hello all, This morning I noticed that Leroy has pinkish/red coloring on his plastron. He's very active, his appetite is normal and gets plenty of sunshine. His substrate is Coco coir. He does like trying to climb up on his half log & scrapes his plastron in the process... I'm just worried it...

    Cedar Wood outdoor enclosure

    We recently moved & had to give up our beautiful outdoor garden for Leroy :-( Being that it's near the end of summer, I wanted something that I could quickly & easily construct. So...dummy me bought 2 raised garden beds without even thinking about the potential harmful effects. My question...

    Brown Spot on Russian's Head

    It did look a little better after his soak. Maybe I'll give him extra soaks and see if it goes away or comes back. Is there a such thing as fungal infections on scales?

    Brown Spot on Russian's Head

    Haha :) Leroy is very versatile. Before I posted on the forum I looked online. the reason ranged from fungal infection to a burn to mbd . . . So of course I got super paranoid.

    Brown Spot on Russian's Head

    I noticed a brown crusty spot on Leroy's head, but figured it was just dirt. However, after his soak it was still there. Any ideas as to what it may be? The first pic is him without the brown spot:

    I experienced the same thing with the T-5's, that's why mine our mounted so high as well. So basically powersun is just as good as mega-ray, right?
