PLEASE HELP ME! Today I went to clean my tiger salamanders water. As I took him out I noticed a black absess on the skin around one of his eyes. I don't know if it is a bacterial infection, a fungus...I have no idea. It looks as though there might have been a small scratch but I can't be sure. Yesterday (valentines day) Here in Vermont we just received a record breaking snow storm (36" where I am), I'm burried in and can not make it to a vet for maybe a week. He isn't acting any different then normal which is a good thing but I don't want to risk his health. Please help me with anything you know, sites that can help me...anything! This is my baby O'ryan in the pictures with the black around his eye. The texture of the black is a little rough..almost like dry.
