Hi everyone! Napoleon is 9 mos old and was put on Albon Sept1st .06ml for 5days then every other day for 2 weeks. Up until this point he was super healthy with no signs of issues but when the fecal came back with coccidia the vet prescribed this. She said it was mild and common. We’ll after day 4 he stopped eating roaches and would only take super worms. We still offered roaches but knew decreased appetite was a side effect so continued to offer what he ate.( still eating worms only up until yesterday, ) His last shed was July 29th so I knew he was due for shed. We’ll a few days ago his one eye turned white (like shedding) and he got a shed spot on his back by his spikes. The shed on his spikes almos looks thick (like a blister) but has not come off yet. Today that eye that the shed was on he is now closing for a few seconds then opening. I guess I am asking if this behavior could still be a side effect from the antibiotics and decreased eating has caused a messed up shed. I will call the vet back if necessary, I just didn’t want to panic if this may pass. I’ve attached pics best I could get of his shed and eye.
The 1st,3rd and 4th pic were taken last night and 2nd today. The last pic is of the day before yesterday on the hat. This whole side of his body does not seem to be affected at all or very little. It’s just the one side. I know that’s a lot of info and it’s all mixed but trying to give a back story to the last few weeks leading up.
Screen cage: 24x24x48
12hr on off light cycle
75w basking light: temp around 82
24in t5 5.0- 7in from stick( we have the uv checker, not the sticky’s the good one) it’s 3.0 at his back where he sits
All real plants
Dripper on top, automatic mister 20 min before lights on 20 minutes after lights off and 2x overnight because our home is a little dry. No fogger but room humidifier at night.
Humidity: night 70% : day 40-50% we try to stay between
Food: before antibiotics- 4-5 good sized roaches (big med-smaller large)and 1-2 lg superworms a day dusted with calcium supplements mon-sat and 2x month repashy plus lod.
Feeders are gut loaded with highlighter dust, carrots, peppers and occasional fruit slice
Poop is normal although I haven’t seen any today and yesterday
We do see him drink daily but he does seem a little dehydrated so we’re working on that.
I ordered some silkworms to try to get him to eat and get hydration. He’s had them before and been eh about liking them. They will be here tomorrow.
I’m sure I’m forgetting something in husbandry, I’m just not too tech savvy and couldn’t figure how to get the form here.
I’m hoping I’m overreacting in my nervousness, he’s just been such a healthy guy until this medicine was given and I’m reading not so good things about it.

after reviewing the bulb, and last few days prior adjusting things since the weather change happen, his gauge was not in the right spot giving accurate reading. Adjustment has been made properly now.
