Ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. If fungal infection is confirmed, she may need antifungal therapy. In the meantime, maintain a clean enclosure with low humidity. Excess humidity will promote fungal growth. Clean and sanitize the cage, bowls and hides. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Make sure she continues to eat and soak her regularly to treat or prevent minor dehydration.
