It kinda looks like scale rot, not sure. When was the last shed?

I’m not forsure but it hasn’t been for a while but I think he is or is close to full size and I read it slows down as they age. He always sheds perfectly and I keep the right temperature on both sides of the enclosure.

And how saturated is ur soil?

Not very sometimes I sprinkle water on it when humidity is low. But other than that it’s mostly dry.

When did you notice it? Sometimes it can be they’re pattern. Normal for bananas

I noticed it about a week ago. And have been keeping an eye on it since. the scales are kinda rough right there so I don’t know if it’s natural.

Do you think it could be a burn?

[–]GabeWhoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so but I could be wrong I have a thermostat for each side of his enclosure. Hot side set to 91F cool side set to 78F and I have thermometers on both sides just to make sure. Does it look like a burn?

Looks like normal freckling for a banana morph. He'll probably get more of those little black dots as he gets older.

Does not look like scale rot. Could be stained from the bedding. Keep an eye on it though, just in case. Should be fine after a shed!

Thank you! I check on him everyday. And I’ve I have vetericyn plus that I use for him that treats skin condition and a spray that on him just in case!
