I HAVE A FOOT LONG FRT,EVERYTHING IS NORMAL EATING AND ACTIVE,BUT RECENTLY HE START GETTING SOM PIMPOLS LIKE THINGS GROWING ON HIS BACK...AND THEN AFTER A FEW DAYS IT WILL PILL OF..IS THIS NORMAL?????I'M KIND OF CONCERN,BUT HE IS ACTING ALL NORMAL.....EXPERTS PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This is quite common with FRT's. Because they have a layer of skin covering theire shell they get little sun burn pimples from the UV light. Take the UV light away and replace it with a normal Fluro, FRT's don't need it. In the wild they spend theire days hidden under logs and come out when its dark. So get rid of that UV straight away and you will be right.
