 Mali has multiple water blisters on back/sides


Have had my girl mali for over 2 years. Started with one roundish watery looking blister with a light red rim along the bottom inside of each blister. She started off with twitching back feet, so scraped cuttle bone dust and even uromastyx dust/vitamin supplement on wax worms (to increase calcium in her diet)....but her bubbles are increasing on her back and side and up by her shoulders now. She is much less active and basks under her light, looks at me or lies in her tunnel most of the time now.
It’s my college daughters pet that I am caring for for the last year and a half, but I have really grown to enjoy her company in my home office...She LOVES dandeloin flowers and I spendpart of every summer day harvesting them for her! She doesn’t seem to eat much of the varied greens I give her and prefers the dried seeds and wax worms. I restrict the wax worms to one or two (at most) a day.
Any idea’s? No exotic vets in area!
Thanks

Im not too sure about the blister mentioned... as far as the deit is concerned, it is not healthy for a Uro to be eating that much protein. Staple diet should be escarole, endive, bok choy, collards, shredded carrots or lentils... there should be little to no cricket feeding or worms. maybe 1 a month at most, but Uro’s are herbivores. Stick to the greens. You definitely need to get it to the vet for the blisters, i would see where you can find one, even if its not too local
