My Russian Tort had a little bit of shell rot when I bought her from the pet store, but it looked different from what seems to be on your sulcata. I put antifungal cream on the bad areas for a couple days and then I put trip me antibiotic ointment on it for about a week until it was gone and healed. I applied everything using q tips.
Triple Antibiotic. Not trip me antibiotic. Spell correct is the worst.

So my temp gun came in and the basking temp is 126, that sounds way too high? I’m still waiting on the hygrometer

I’m sorry, I don’t know where my husband got 126 from. I pointed the gun at the dirt right under the basking lamp and got 90 degrees. Is that a good temp?

Needs to be closer to 100, preferably 95-100. Maybe he was checking the temperature of the light fixture? Lol
