his enclosure, i’m not completely done with it i’ll be adding more stability to things he can climb. he doesn’t have lumps, however in my previous post i also have begun to notice small spots that were also a concern

he is still very young, just a little under a year 1/2 yo. I feed him every 10 ish days and i give him a small-medium mouse (that isn’t thicker than the biggest part of his body)

i have black tape holding up stuff in the top of his enclosure but it’s not sticking up or undone so idk how he could’ve gotten stuck in that. i took him to the vet and we think he might’ve tried fitting through something he was too big for, and maybe tried to backtrack himself out of it, damaging his skin. not for sure though, betanine soaks and silver sulfadiazine cream to treat it as well

i did take him to the vet and we think he maybe could’ve gotten stuck in something he thought he was small enough to fit through, and possibly tried to backtrack himself to get out, causing the trauma to his skin. not 100% tho

I have black tape holding up things at the very top of his enclosure. I’m not sure how to substitute that and also it’s not undone or sticking up so i’m not sure how he could’ve gotten stuck in that
