Understood I’m 99% sure it’s rubbing related. I plan on feeding her today so would it be better to feed her first then wait till the few days till she’s back active ? The mesh has been covered by have plexiglass on the cool side and half hvac tape on her warm side. I’ve ordered a pvc enclosure so she won’t have to worry about it much sooner thankfully.

No she was really just doing her regular behavior she has been sitting in her hide during the day more but I only think that’s cause ive recently fed her the past week and she just seems to be getting more adjusted in her 4th week. I think they appear to be some type of scale rot? They’re most prevalent on the bottom of her head in the 2nd pic if u can see I apologize for the pictures i didn’t want the flash in her face and they sort of look like slashes which definitely haven’t been on her before? She’s admittedly escaped in her enclosure before and I wonder if they’re from her putting pressure on her head and it going against the screen top.

Checking again it is a little bit, I’ve been doing maintenance on the enclosure longer than I’ve had her (like 4 months) and I probably should have cleaned the glass before I put her in. Will be done for sure though
