So...got Luna out for a cuddle, and saw this;





She has splits in ALL of her belly scales, down about 4/5 of her body. I know they weren't there before she laid her eggs, all I can imagine is she did it while straining, and it's probably why she's been so twitchy, she was probably in a lot of pain. I've put veterinary wound cleaner on the splits, just wondering has anybody seen anything like this before? Will it sort itself out when she sheds next? Thanks :)
