His nose again...

[lraulston]

Thanks, it seems to be healing well again. He is eating like a horse and acting like his normal self. I will move him in with my other White's just as soon as he is big enough

I'm glad to hear he's shown improvement! Great for you and Nugget. ^ ^

Marshy has the same thing on her nose... what do I need to do? She is living by herself and there isn't anything that can injure her as her tank is pretty much a naked tank with no plants and all...

Could it be a cricket bite? As far as I know they aren't common but a cricket could have bit her while she was eating it or before she pounced?

@ Brit: Honestly, I have no idea... I just recently spot that... but she goes after those crickets HARD.. I usually get 15 and they be gone the same night... and shes not eating much this week, I am wondering if it is because of the wound, the aquarium sponge as her substrate, or she is close to shed (she sheded last night, almost gave me a heart attack + stroke... shes like shes gonna barf and all...)

How old is your White's? I'm assuming young because you said you feed her fifteen crickets...was that per night or per week?

It could be that she is close to shedding but if it has gone on a few days I doubt that's the reason, it doesn't take White's that long to make a complete shed and they should be doing it every two or three days.

I know what you mean about freaking out when you see them shed for the first time. I was so scared the first time I watched my White's do it I thought he was choking and pulled the skin out of his mouth in the middle. >< Later I realized it was just shedding and I had denied him of essential vitamins, so I felt bad, but now that I'm educated everything's ok. XD

She eats 15 per week, and she is three years old... Yeah, she had been active lately so I try not to freak out alot
