Sorry this is kinda long. I know I talk about him in bits and pieces but here's the story on my Luci boy. He hates being in his tank and constantly wants out. We let him roam freely around the house as much as we can when we are home to let him burn some energy. Our floors are light gray carpet. We had ceramic tile in his tank for awhile but it wasn't sized properly so he always made a bunch of noise rearranging things and he filed his nails real short so for a few months we had him on newspaper. In the last month we've had him on repti carpet. In his tank he has a driftwood basking spot and a magnetic ledge and a hammock, a small half log and his food bowl.
I've noticed recently that the underside of both his back feet are discolored. I always assumed that it was from the newspaper and it would go away. He gets a bath once a week and I scrub his feet hoping it will help. The one foot looks a little like stuck shed but now I'm not really sure what it is.
Today I gave him a good long soak, subbed his feet and cleaned them with some diluted betadine. I also rubbed some reptile shedding aid on.
What do you guys think?
He's not in any pain. He runs fine, I touch and squeeze his feet there's no reaction. Which makes me think it's just discolored or stuck shed that will look better once he sheds.
