Hoping someone can advise... wasn't sure if this requires a vet or not. I have two females and they both have some scabby looking areas on their skin. My Super Hypo has it on her head and back and my Blizzard has it on a couple of toes.

I've had them about a month and a half and they have both shed,.. they seem to have shed ok, no issues that I noticed, however I am new to reptiles so I'm may not know if something didn't shed right or not.

I am wondering if the to black spots on the toes of my Blizzard were shedding related because I have read that sometimes that the skin can get stuck, but I wasn't sure how long I should give them to shed it off on their own before intervening. Also they are pretty skiddish I tried getting some of the shed off the toes but they squirm and try to get away from me and I don't know how much strength to use with them.

Is this something I need to be concerned with, anything I should do or will it take care of itself with the next shedding? They are both due for another shedding probably within a week or two.

Personally if it doesn't go away the next time they shed I would take them to the vet asap. I've never heard of anything like this. Are they housed together?

[JayArndt]

Yes, they are housed together. Are lizards vulnerable to fungal or skin infections?

[Yoshi'smom]

I would guess so. It's strange that's for sure. My first thought actually was a parasite....

Do you have a humid spot in the enclosure for them to shed in?? I am not quite sure what does [ ¨scabby¨ means

If it is for sure non-shed skin and it doesn't go away after several days, put them one at a time into very shallow, lukewarm water in the bath tub. Soaking them for a couple of minutes should help loosen any stuck skin.
