    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My leachie has a cut!

So I just noticed my leachie has what looks like some sort of cut on its underside by its front left leg! Anyone have any advice? I am obviously going to keep an eye on it until it heals, but can I or should I clean it with anything?

Hi there, I've attached a link that gives an idea of some things you could look for and how to handle the situation.

http://www.moonvalleyreptiles.com/reptile-resources/reptile-health-and-nutrition/wound-care

Looks like a small scratch though.

Another note, I've heard of people using super glue as a way to protect the wound from external pathogens. I've never tried it but I'm sure there's someone out there with some hands on superglue wound care experience. I highly suggest if you take this route, STERILIZE the wound. Wouldn't want to trap bacteria in there and allow it to grow. Also have to make sure it's dry before letting the little leachie do it's thing, other wise it could glue to itself.

So she just started to shed tonight. I'm wondering if the cut was not really a cut and something related to her shedding. I'm not sure, but I'm going to investigate it tomorrow!
