Are these belly spots normal?

Postby Heather H » Thu Sep 13, 2007 2:05 pm

We recently noticed these strange white spots on our skink's belly. We don't recall seeing them before. Does this look like normal coloration or is something wrong? Could this be a fungal infection of some sort, or maybe just a sign that she's going to shed? She is eating well and acting normally. Anyone seen this before??Image

Hrm.... seems like its irritated. I dont think its too much of a problem now wat ever it is but if it starts to get more red and get more rash like i think you may need to get it checked out. I hope hes ok!

I'd guess shed, as it looks like either air or shedding oil is trapped under the scale? Just a guess.

Hello, a picture to see what the belly used to look like would help, I'm guessing its just pigment as your skink looks fairly pale in colouration and the spots look as if they carry on up the flanks, your sure to get other answers to this from the long term keepers, oohh also :btsnet:
MMMmmmmm... Something???????
