So my northern just finished shedding yesterday. I just pulled him out from under his water bowl and noticed his nose is very red and looks a little bloody ): I haven't noticed him rubbing his nose at all but then again he is usually buried and hiding under something. Should I do anything to treat this or just leave it alone?
BTW his nose looks more red in person than it does in the photo.

Re: Nose Rub?
Keep an eye on it, but his scales do not look damaged. He may have rubbed it too hard when trying to get his shed off.

Re: Nose Rub?
Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much at this point unless it started to worsen or did not look better after a shed.
