Scale missing

**16 shells** · 15-09-2010, 07:09 PM

Noticed a big scale missing from the Leo's leg, think this is recently lost/ripped is there any precaution to take like antiseptic bathing the area. Or a common thing.

Thankyou.

Sorry should have mentioned right leg centre, looking at the pic.

Is it causing him any discomfort or distress, Paul??
I would bathe it with diluted betadine or something similar but to be honest, looking at the pic - that doesnt look like a big chunk or that its fresh. Do you agree??
I would say bathe it or dab it with something but it might not be causing any discomfort to him at all....
If you think about it, their front legs are where all the power comes from and probably pretty sturdy - considering where they originate from and their natural terrain.
