Mild burn

[Bernie]

Hi guys,

I'm concerned about my veiled Cham, he appears to have burnt himself mildly.

He has been basking in a weird position lately and I suspect this is how it's happened. I have now changed his setup to prevent this happening again.

Anyway, there is a row of 5 or 6 spines on his back which have discoloured to a grey colour. There is no sign of any flesh that's burnt away and no open wounds.

I am assuming he will probably lose these :-(

Is there anything I can do to help him? Is there any chance of a recovery?

Pics to follow...

if it is a burn i would say its too minor to effect him at all his spike willnot fall off in my opinion they will fully heal if you have fixed the problem.

imo, he may go through a few shedding rounds where the tips will be dulled and possibly even sloughed, but it should rebound ok. you are lucky! literally a few more mm's down and i think you would have had a full slough and scarring.

if it seems to progress down his side in the next week or 2, please let me know.
