BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

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.

Mate dont panic ,IJ's and others have a pinkish belly, does it look like this?




Not sure about the lifting scales,what substrate do you use?

Woddle,

Can you post a pic?

It might be scale rot.

Good point Geoff, I was going down the no need to worry path,without thinking.

also when my baby had mites the scales were lifted look and see if you see anything underneath them.

my friends IJ

Pictures would be helpful. When was the last shed?

Does it look like this:

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.

hi, my blueys always seem to do this in mating season i dont know but it could have something to do with that?
