Belly

Postby woddle » Tue Oct 23, 2007 1:09 am

The belly of my bluey is red to the end of the tail, but I think it might be newspaper ink from previous temporary newspaper uses. Its been like that for a long time now, and I didn't think much of it. Is it ok? Also, the belly scales seem to be lifting a lot more than before, and I can sort of see them slightly lifted all the time now. I'm not really sure of all these problems, and I just want to make sure they aren't big problems. :noknow: :noknow:

Woddle,

It might be scale rot.

Ill try to add pictures soon. I doubt mite invasion because most scales on the belly are lifted slightly and I could only see pink skin when checked. The redness is slightly red and Ill try to get a picture of that soon.
