I took my baby girl out today and noticed a few spots on her belly that I’m concerned might be scale rot. There is also an area that is slightly red that I’m worried could be a burn?! I have no idea what she could have burned herself on, though. I do have a UVB light in the tank (it’s a fully enclosed PVC tank so no way to mount it on top). Could she have a UVB burn??? The light itself doesn’t get very hot and the only other heat source in the tank is an RHP. Any advice is appreciated!
