Did my BTS get cut?
Hi guys. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I honestly can't find a picture of a normal skinks's leg. I got back from vacation (my brother in law cared for my skink) and when I arrived I looked my skink over. I noticed two marks that looked like cuts at his leg creases. I was immediately alarmed, but I couldn't tell if they where supposed to be there or not, as they where in the exact same spot, and I haven't exactly looked in that area before. I just got him two weeks ago from captive bred excellence. There seems to be nothing in his tank, except a piece of drift wood that would be able to do this. Can you guys help? Thanks.

Very hard to tell being it is right behind the 'knee' joint at which there would be a normal crease. I'm currently at work or I'd take a look at mine! It doesn't seem to be an injury, just watch for redness and/or swelling in the area.

If that is a laceration, it is very superficial. Putting some Betadine on a Q tip and swabbing it would help prevent it from getting infected, which is the real concern, not the minor cut.
