...Weird.. I dunno why septacemia would affect the skin? (Or is it effect? I never know..) Anyway.. I dunno much about the histology of reptile skin, but usually the epidermis (which I assume is the scales and their membraney thing) isn't directly supplied by blood... Nutrients diffuse from capillaries under th epidermis.. So it's odd septacemia (blood poisonng) affected the skin..
