Absolutely! when i started noticing things with him, i started google-ing things to try to match pictures to what was happening and came up empty handed every time. so i was thinking maybe he was just shedding..?(new tort mom) and it wasn't until he lost most of his scales on the front of his...
its pretty much guaranteed to be it. Tio's scales have come off in large patches and is mostly just bare skin. he's lost/loosing toes and a node has come up on the side of his head ( near the ear-ish area). the yellow spots have went away with treatment of silver sulfadiazine (at least 2 hours...
