Hey everyone. I noticed this scab on Tank this morning and was a little concerned. His temps have been in the 80's with around a 100 degree basking spot. His habitat is kept humid and he gets plenty of time outside. Has anyone else noticed anything like this? ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1501681699.878229.jpg

Actually it may not be good. That is not normal. However, are you sure it's not dried food? See if you can pick it off. Otherwise if not, I would keep an eye on it and maybe apply some over the counter antibiotic cream to it.

I did a soak and it got softer, it looks like a tiny cut and now a scan over it. Is Neosporin safe to use?
