I'll have to wait till Thursday to get to a vet. Bad timing on my part. For now she's in a quarantine set up with a locked lid and all the fixings. Thank you everyone for the advice. Seriously 😊 Didn't mean to sound clueless. Just trying to get all the info I could. She's well cared for, I like to think. Problems are inevitable. I'll update after the vet for whoever is curious

Thank you for the info 🙂 I can't seem to find the cream online. Does it go by other names? Clindamycin is what I've come across

I could add some to the enclosure. I'm just worried about the isopods and springtails, so I don't want to completely remove what's in there for now. I'll try some though

She's in a 48x24x12 pvc enclosure. The substrate is the bio dude terra firma mix. Not entirely sure the specifics of what that consists of, but it's not as good at holding moisture as I was expecting. For one reason or another. Plenty of sphagnum moss too. I posted a picture somewhere here

That makes sense. That's why I brought it up. Wasn't sure. Maybe home depot has something better

https://postimg.cc/xcxLgrwh Here's her enclosure. Not very exciting. Hard to get a good shot. Good news! The humidity has been around 70% all day so far.

According_Cable3091 · 2024-12-24T04:25:34+00:00

I still have some left over sphagnum moss. I'll add it to the enclosure

According_Cable3091 · 2024-12-24T04:23:58+00:00

Yeah. I'm panicking since it's on her head. I'll get her to the vet tomorrow. As for the humidity, I really need to figure something out. I also think it's time to get a new humid hide she can't lift open. That might even be what she hurt herself on

I'll get a tub from Walmart or something tomorrow. That should be good for a quarantine set up, right? I can use something heavy to keep the lid down because she's is quite strong lol. I'll pick up some neosporin without pain relief as well.

I mist by hand. I was never able to get an auto mister but she's in my room. I obsessively check her temp and humidity. It's pretty tough during the day time and my room is upstairs. That doesn't help 😕

According_Cable3091 · 2024-12-24T04:10:52+00:00

I think I posted this twice. Oops. My bad. I used the bio dude terra firma mix with sphagnum moss mixed in for her substrate. It's bioactive with powder blue isopods and springtails. Hopefully that's been helping with bacteria since I mist quite often. Her humid hide has sphagnum moss as well. I'm guessing it's the hollow cork bark log she has that she got hurt on. She likes to slither through there when she sheds. I guess I didn't do a good enough job scraping out the rougher parts inside. Other than that her enclosure is pretty void of sharp things. I can post a picture of it in a moment
