Hello! I’m new here!
I’m coming here to see if anyone is able to give me some insight on my small hatchling sulcata, Pete. He’s had no issues since getting him at 2 weeks. He eats great. I have him on calcium with the proper lighting. A couple nights ago when soaking I noticed his shell had a weird spot on the plastron that sort of looked yellowish and his peeling. I have two photos from the day I noticed to now. I have a vet appointment set for Thursday. Couldn’t get in sooner unfortunately. I’m trying to see if I can find anyone who can tell me what this is? I am extremely nervous thinking the worst and can’t find much on anyone else experiencing this. I recently lost my male adult after 25 years. Really don’t want this to be anything fatal for this babe. I’ll attach the photos. If you have any info please help me out. It’ll be much appreciated.
Thank you for reading!
