My ig is getting close to a shed, its already started on his head.. but he has had black scales, like, dots all over his body, I give him baths 2 times a week, and he seems to be pretty spry, any suggestions?
PS. I can't find a vet nearby my house, noone seems to have a place for animals since they are illegal to sell in Windsor.

It would help if you had a picture. A clear picture. It could be a couple of things. It can be fungal, bacterial, or a thermal burn. It could also be his natural coloring. Sometimes it is illegal to sell igs in certain municipalities, but owning them is ok. Sometimes they are illegal all the way around. Are we talking stateside Windsor or across the pond into the UK? Sometimes we need to travel for vet care...and when we take in an exotic you must expect that to find the right vet. I travel 3 hours round trip for mine. There are vets all ove that are herp knowledgeable...and knowing where you are exactly can help. You can go several places to do a search. www.arav.org Go into the "Members" section. www.herpvetconnection.com/www.anapsid.org/vets/index.html |

Windsor Ontario.
I would get a picture but with the webcam I have you would tell his les from his head... I can only decribe it as for every 75 scales, 1 is black, could just be his colouring.. I was unsure.

A description is not enough. It could be too many things. See if you can get a good still from the webcam and someone can look at it and see if something can be made out.
