This may be due to trauma, infection or a nutritional deficiency. Corona should be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to diagnose the underlying cause. Treatment, if any, will depend on the diagnosis. In the meantime, provide a balanced diet, hydration, vitamin/mineral supplementation, heat support and adequate UVB lighting until she sees the doctor.
