So I noticed earlier that when Spike was getting down from climbing on the top of his enclosure that he kinda fell down and caught himself on some branches. I just went to try to hand feed him but noticed a little red spot.
So I'm wondering of this looks like a cut??? Is that blood? It's hard to say for me. It's almost like it's 1 scale that is red.
He looks fine otherwise.
He felt about 9 inches. Although his front of his body was dangling trying to reach down already.
I took the best pics I could. You should be able to zoom in and see the red spot. It is in the middle of his body on the white bar.
There almost might be the slightest bit of bruising there but he's also changing his white bars to a pretty light blue color so I'd if that's what I'm seeing.
1) Do you think this calls for a vet appointment?
2) How concerned should I be for infection?
3) what are the earliest signs I can look for in an infection for him?
4) could this be something other than an open cut??
He seems to be moving perfectly normal.
