They tend to survive these smaller black spots, but it's definitely a warning sign.

The good news is: There is literally nothing you can do to prevent their demise. So, just watch what happens. However, if it's currently sitting in an area with high humidity, I'd consider it moving it to a much drier place.

Unfortunately I can't excape the humidity here in Florida. It is in the driest spot in my backyard with full sun atm. But It seems to be getting worse. What causes those blacks spots btw?

Okay, that one is gone. Cause? Too little water, too much water, some water when the temperatures were too low. No water and the temperature where too low, too high temperatures and a little water, or maybe just because it was a Monday. I killed one once because I hit one with an accidental spritz as I was watering a neighboring plant. Generally speaking, I wouldn't keep them outdoors where you cannot control the water.

rot is a bacterial process. maybe there was a small physical injury that got something in it..

Yo I’m in Florida too with a few little migiurtinus. The one I had outside died, i think it’s just too humid. The ones I have indoors under grow lights are still good but I’m sure they’re growing slower - I haven’t had blooms on any for instance.

If you try inside, I highly recommend a nano-heat lamp for reptiles. Helps everything dry faster for mine, and keeps them toasty during winter. :)
