Thank you! I have A+D ointment on him right now because it helps with burns. I'll bath him and put on triple aintibacterial. His light is close because it can't get hot enough for him being where it's safe. So I'm going the expensive route to keep him safe by ordering a 6-7 feet enclosure that has a roof and the light is covered by a screening to keep him from touching it. My building skills aren't good enough to make something like that. I'm afraid of his burns causing serious problemsAlso make your basking lighting higher, it maybe a little too close to the ground level.. Because that burn looks like your lighting is extremely too close. Because this burn looks bented in.
I already use a powersun because I know about the other bulbs being bad for them. I will raise it and keep an eye on him until that new enclosure arrives. Thank you very much. My tegu and I appreciate it!Your tegu burn will become or get serious if your light remain too close.. You have to rise it higher, if your lighting isn't heating the way you want it. You have to stop using those spot basking lights from petco because there really not good for bigger lizards.. Get the powersun or a 45-50 watt halogen flood light
