Hey again everyone, I just recently purchased 4 two month old 66.6% het for albino sulcatas from a seller on fauna classifieds and I’ve run into yet another issue that the internet can’t give me a clear answer towards. I received them about 2 weeks ago and put them in a closed chamber with my 9 ish month old sulcata (who is discussed in my previous posts). Humidity is 80-90% and temperature is 85-95. I feed them varied greens and mazuri twice a week, and I dust their greens twice a week. I clean out the closed chamber once a day or as soon as it gets soiled. They get soaked for 10-20 minutes almost every morning and I make sure they are clean afterwards. The first week was great, they ate and acted the way healthy baby sulcatas do, and they were all perfectly healthy. Then I noticed one wasn’t eating or moving much, upon further inspection he was very deflated looking and had orange blisters/ pimples covering his skin (not shell). He could barely move, so I did the most humane thing and put him down. It was very, very sudden and completely took me by surprise. So I inspected the other three, one is clean and perfectly healthy, and the last 2 have the orange pimples on their neck/ skin. I separated them from my 9 month old and the single healthy one. One of the two is very healthy and the orange spots seem to be going down, it is still eating, gaining weight, and active, however the other ones nostrils are completely closed and I can hear it struggling to breathe. I reached out to several breeders asking what it could be and we can’t come to a conclusion besides me making the mistake of buying from a mass breeder, where it’s impossible to control illness or disease... the breeder I got them from informed me that none of his had anything like what I described to him and none of his had been sick or died. If anyone could help me out with any information on what this could be it would be much appreciated, thank you! I’ll attach pictures of the baby that died and the one who’s nostrils are closed to hopefully help reach a conclusion
