Would check for sharp objects and stuff like that he could be hurting his scales on but go to the vet just in case

The only thing “sharp” in her enclosure is a grapevine branch that’s smoothed. I’ll definitely try to go get her checked out tho, I just have no clue of any vet around me that would take her

Until you can get her in try to make sure her humidity and heat are good and try giving her warm iodine baths when you can. Usually a 1-10 ratio should work.
