    Default Bacterial infection?

    Does anybody know what's up with her head? She's eating fine. The only new things in her terrarium are some mosses that I put in there almost two weeks ago. The average temperature is 74-68. She's housed with another female (thought it was a male) that I'm rehoming.

    In my opinion, it looks like a minor injury. According to several studies, swabbing the wound with Bactine will help prevent a bacterial infection.

    Thanks. I haven't used bactine, but it's already getting better naturally.
