what is this hole in the skin of my gecko´s tail? injury or disease? how should I treat it? neosporin or no?
This is a picture of my leopard gecko´s tail. She acquired the lesion while being babysat by a novice caregiver, sometime during her two weeks with them. My first hunch is that it is a lesion caused by a superworm biting or trying to feed on her, as I discovered that they had left several superworms in the tank, possibly over the period of a few days.
As it is on the top of her tail, it is clean. Any help would be appreciated!!! Norton is a mature female who has given up eating crickets and mostly lives on mealworms.
Thank you!
