Thank you. I disposed of the aspen bedding and replaced it with passion paper towel today. Will buy betadine tomorrow and do his first soak. Is this a guaranteed way to get rid of the problem?

So before i got the betadine. I noticed he was starting to shed. So i waited to see if hed shed it off and he did. Theres no more abnormal coloring coloring on his belly scales. The scales that had it are a tad bit mishapen but no torn up or colored look to them. Is my lovely corn in the clear now? Or should i still do the betadine soak?

Don't do it if the condition isn't there any more. Just keep watch over him and keep him on paper towels for awhile. Keep the enclosure very clean also. Nice work. Obviously caught it early and was able to eradicate it. Hopefully.

Okay thank you very much! I'll keep you updated. Ive had him for almost 11 years and never had an issue so i was quite surprised when i noticed it.

I kept him on paper towels until today. If the condition comes back any recommendations? Besides the betadine should i put him back onto the paper towels?
