Top of crest came off....

[Daniel Martin]

1. Hello I have a 10 month old vield and I have had him for about 7 months and think he got burned and that's why the top of his crest came off. I'm building a custom cage for him soon but I was wondering if this will over. Thanks. There is only a little blood spot

I would put some Neapolitan on it.

Lol Don't put ice cream on it! I'm sure the poster meant neosporin. This is why it's extremely important to check our cage temps regularly. he should be fine but be diligent when constructing your new enclosure.

Yes...use a q-tip and cover all damaged area lightly.

It looks like he could have scraped it off? Similar thing happened to my guy a while back; he chipped the front of his casque from trying to wedge himself between vines. Vet prescribed chlorhexidine and silvadene cream but definitely bring him in to get a professional opinion.

I just realized, mine was around the same age when this happened.. If you've never had this issue before (7 months with no incident, and then this happens right around the time he is maturing), he could be trying to tell you that it's time for a bigger cage.
