A spot has appeared on her back and head that "looks" wet, but it isn't water. The spots feel a bit sticky.
Housing:
A) Enclosure

10 Gal
- Type (ex. glass tank)
Glass Tank
- Type of substrate
Lizard carpet
- Hides, how many, what kind
2 hides, one is an ornamental rock cave that she can climb up in, the other is a black tupperware container with a wet washcloth on the bottom for shedding.
B) Heating
- Heat source
Nocturnal Heat Lamp
- Cage temps (hot side, cool side)
Hot side is 89-90 F, cool side is 70-85 F (depends on the time of day and amount of sunlight it gets)
- Method of regulating heat source
The heat lamp stays on 24/7 unless I'm cleaning her tank
- What are you using to measure your temps
a thermometer in the tank, recommended by the pet store
- Do you have any lights (describe)
Nocturnal red light
C) Cage mates
- How many (males, females)
None
- Describe health, or previous problems
She's been healthy since I've gotten her.
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding (how often, how much)
She gets about 30 mealworms in a week, maybe 1 or 2 superworms once every other week, and 6 crickets once a week.
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect)
Mealworms/Superworms in dish, crickets are caught by her.
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands)
Pep-Cal (Phosphorus-Free). Insects are dusted with it.
- What are you gut loading food with
I use oatmeal and a slice of apple for the worms, crickets eat Fluker's High calcium cricket diet, carrots, and apples.
Here is a picture of the spot, it's in the middle of her back, it looks like water with water droplets around it.
I've been unable to find anything solid on the internet, everyone says it's probably water. I was hoping someone here might know what it is. My husband won't let me take her to a vet unless it's serious, he doesn't want to be charged with a large fee for nothing, plus our area doesn't have any 'exotic' veterinarian, the vet I take my cat and dog to for shots is a farm vet that doesn't deal with anything smaller than a kitten. Any and all help is appreciated, thank you for your time.
