Hey all,
well, about 2 weeks ago after I fed my female BP, I picked her up to hold her and noticed that she had a very very very small "chip" in one of her scales with some brownish/reddish stuff in the chip. Kinda like she slid over something sharp and it caught the scale. After looking at the scale, I didnt see any damage to the skin underneath, just the scale but to be safe, I put her on paper towels and daily neosporin treatments for a 5-7 days. I then soaked her after that week and put her back on Aspen. Well, after picking her up today, I notice that the scale is turning pinkish. At first I thought "She's going into shed" but I can't see any real pink tinge anywhere else. Now I'm worried it's infected somehow. What do ya'll think? Pics are below.
