I’m not sure where i should post or ask about this but i don’t know how they appeared and I’m very worried. 2 months ago she got sick and had blisters and needed medicine so i think maybe it has something to do with it but i was on google and it said parasites but idk how to look for them can someone please just tell me if I’m over reacting?

Given she had blisters two months ago, those spots could honestly just be healing pigment where the damaged scales were, that happens a lot. Run a finger over them: flat and smooth is usually old injury healing, raised or spreading needs a vet look, and check your humidity and substrate since blister disease comes right back if the enclosure stays damp.

They don’t feel bumpy or raised at all and the ones by her head are where some of her injuries were but I’ll check my humidity and keep watch incase it spreads. Thank you🙂

That sounds like exactly the kind of flat, smooth healing we hoped for, nice. Keeping an eye on the humidity is the best next move.
