Male fight... But also burns... Maybe?

[WoWo]

Hello,

One of my buyer got bad luck : Two out of the three geckos i sold to her ends up being male; worse : there's a third (among a total of 4 geckos). That was discovered in the worst way : FIGHT. So the bad boy (last pic) kinda ruined the other one, i'd say. Shit become worse when i see the tail and toes, making me think there're also burning here :

After checking, appear that owner never got a thermostat and the ground is totally over heated..! Heard the gecko wasn't hanging in that area though, so i'm asking you, do you think there's burning here? The other geckos got not sign of this AT ALL.

The skin is definitely abraded. I would lean toward burned but it might have been caused by rubbing on something rough or both rubbing and burning. I would get them into an enclosure with moist paper towels and to a vet ASAP to get them some antibiotics and ointment for their skin. They also look to be on the skinny side but aggression and being way too warm could have caused that more than not being fed.

Good luck with them and keep us posted on how they do!

Well i can't control much what the owner is going to do, anyways here it's usually recommended to use betadin for bath so that's what going to happen for now; the wounded gecko indeed look quite thin but i heard it wasn't the case before fight started. The other one is not skinny at all, he's like godzilla..!!

I would say its most likely a combination of both fighting and slight burns. I have observed injuries from bites, where the top layer of skin was peeled off (a bit like removing shed way to early). the fresh skin underneath is exposed, tacky and raw sometimes resembling burns. this skin then tends to dry flaky and oftern cracks. just like it appears to be doing on his tail and chin. this raw skin is susceptible to over heating but not sure this is the case.
if it was a burn the belly would be the worst affected however the picture seems to just show a few bite marks on the underside.
they need to be separated if not already as stress from being suppressed by the other male will lead to a compromised immune system eventually resulting in sickness. once they are separated and care is taken to address the current wounds by cleansing them daily he should eventually shed out the wounds and bounce back to full health quickly.

poor lil guy he looks quite sweet, just need some TLC

He's in a separate box, and that box's in the viv. Heard that the attacker was seeking for him, turning around the box... Of course if the box's here it means it can't be placed somewhere else.
