Red-ish color on their Plastron
Posted: Tue Oct 31, 2017 8:47 am
Dear All,
I have noticed a Red-ish area on their plastron. I'm so worried about what that might mean. Please check attached photos.
Details:
========
It's been around 4 months Ive been taking care of these 2 adorable YBS (I believe they have some RDS in them).
Based on when i got them, they should be around 5 months old now.
I have provided them with a UVB5.0 light about 20cms away to the closest basking area.
Current Lamp

Also, another regular household Incandescent light bulb for heating.
I will be adding one of the two lamps below to replace the current regular lamp. Please advise.
