I purchased it wild caught, not sure when it was captured.
The animal is kept by itself in a sweater box plastic container, Temperature is in the mid 70's she has a hide box on one side of the cage, with a water bowl in the middle and a basking light on the end. Humidity is 30%-40% substrate was aspen bedding, changed to newspaper once noticed as well as changing the water bowl to a smaller one that she wouldn't be able to soak in. I've had the racer for two weeks. I've noticed the sore for 2 days. I did notice she tipped over the water bowl when i went to clean the cage and the bedding was damp the other day and that is when I noticed the blisters. I will take her to a vet if the condition worsens within the next couple days after altering the enclosure specifications a little.
