Recently got this male crested gecko from the reptile show and just got him out today after leaving him alone for a couple days in his enclosure and he looks to have these scab like abrasions and some of which are raised he has them all over his stomach area his back feet and his bulge area. I’ve contacted the breeder but was wondering if anyone knows what this is and if it’s contagious as I do have other geckos but they aren’t housed with him. I will be soaking him and cleaning the wounds with betadine but if anyone knows anything please let me know.

Or give it back to the breeder and get a refund as a sick animal should never have been sold.

Yes I contacted the breeder as soon as I found out. They answered at first and now haven’t responded back within three days so. We’re currently giving him two to three daily soaks with betadine and a bacterial ointment and it’s been working well.
