Hello, today my buddy got a burn mark on his stomach, It’s not bad and I made adjustments right away by moving the lamp off his cage and into the air a little, i am wondering if this is permanent? thank you

^It depends on how deep the burn is. If it is just very superficial, there shouldn’t be any scarring. I’m f the burn goes down deeper into the tissues, there will likely be a scar. You’ll want to keep a close eye on it and if you see that it is open or raw looking that you take him to a vet for treatment. Burns can become infected very easily.
Here is a pic of it today, does this look like it’s getting better and will it leave any permanent marks! thank you!Hello I am so sorry this has happened. since you have raised the light, you will have to raise the basking branch. I keep a temp guage wiredat the basking spot to make sure temps are right. First, do not touch that burn without gloved hands. Bacteria on your hands can cause infection. Burns usually start by looking like a scrap nit a burn the fact that yours is discolored and not scrapped is a good sign that it may not be deep. all burns take a long time to heal and it may be multiple molts before it looks right again. If after a molt, it goes white with no color, dont worry it may repair itself over time. Black means dead skin and once that comes off you will tell if its deep or not. Still Silver Cream 1% for humans is recommended for burns on chams. Apply twice a day. Usually requires prescription. Please keep us posted and track progress with posting pics.
