Spot on Bodhi's back

[Banders675]

So Bodhi has this spot on his back can anyone help me with what it might be. I'm back in school and working full time so my chams are not getting 100% attention but I'm still trying to stay on top of there care.

Looks like a burn to me. What are his temps? distance of heat light?

 

[Banders675]

Yeah it is

Its a burn. Is there anything I can do to help it heal? I know it's never going to go away. The light was on top of the cage my laziness just hurt my boy. The temp was over 120 degrees at the spot the light was at. I burned my finger checking it. Now the light is hung properly and it's showing 90 in the spot closest but that is directly in sun light also and it's hot today. Man I can't believe I let this happen.

Try to get some silveadene (spelled wrong) cream. It is great for burns

Don't beat yourself up. Mistakes happen to the best of us.

It doesn't look all that bad. It could have been much worse.

More information or pictures of buddy please.

Yeah its hard not to hard on myself he depends on us to care for him and I have 2 of the best chams. I open the cage and they come flying out to me. I come home late and after class or work and as soon as they see me they are climbing to the door to hang out. Just feels like I let him down. I was told by a breeder I hit the lotto twice with the disposition of my boys. I'll keep you posted on Bodhi. I just hope he dose not lose his spikes.
